PennFlow The place to go for updates on flow cytometry technology and news from the Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania

Identifying and sorting cells from a rapidly moving fluid stream, once as novel an idea as a Wright Brothers plane, has been possible for more than four decades. However, where earlier technology was esoteric, complicated and not widely used, facilities such as the Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Resource Laboratory have helped to make this technology widely accessible and relatively easy to use. New multiparametric techniques using sensitive fluorescent probes, now available in a multitude of colors, make cell sorting and analysis (flow cytometry) a rapid, accurate and objective method to measure multiple characteristics of large numbers of individual cells simultaneously. The Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Resource Laboratory (FCCSRL) is dedicated to providing Penn investigators access to high-quality, cost-effective flow cytometric services, as well providing the scientific expertise necessary to effectively integrate this technology into their research projects. One of the lab's primary missions is teaching this technology, consulting with investigators regarding integration of this technology into their research paradigms, and providing technical support to regular users. The FCCSRL is available 24/7 and staff is on hand Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm. Staff assisted cell sorting is performed between the hours of 12:00pm-5:00pm. To further inquire about the services offered by the FCCSRL, contact the Technical Director, Hank Pletcher, at 215-898-3528, or pletcher@mail.med.upenn.edu, or better yet, stop by the lab in 297 John Morgan Building.

Ask the Expert:
Understanding COVID-19 and Immune Responses

Tuesday, November 17
11 a.m. PDT | 2 p.m. EDT


On the next BD FACSMatters Ask the Expert, our very own Bob Balderas will be moderating an insightful scientific session joined by two eminent scientists, Dr. Deepak Kaushal and Dr. Dhiraj Kumar Singh, who will discuss their quests to answer key immunology questions as it relates to infectious diseases with emphasis on COVID-19.

Following their presentations, there will be a live panel discussion on how flow cytometry is used as a tool to understand immune responses and design vaccines.

Join us on this special webcast:
• Discover how vaccine research for tuberculosis and COVID-19 go hand-in-hand, proposing similarities between the two diseases and highlighting major differences in their manifestations
• Learn how flow cytometry empowers our ability to understand the biology of diseases and how we can apply that knowledge to develop novel vaccines and therapeutics
• Ask your questions to a live panel of immunology experts

Due to the recent unrest in our region, and in accordance with University directives, the Flow Cytometry Shared Resource lab will delay Phase I resumption of research until Monday, June 8th at the earliest. In the interim, no instruments will be available for research purposes.

It is our hope to have all available analyzers online by the middle to end of next week, and staff-assisted sorter services available by the following week. We will provide further updates as the situation develops.
