Cytometry

The Multiphoton and Analytical Imaging Center is a critical resource for elucidating biological processes at the whole cell level and for isolating from heterogeneous cell populations phenotypically defined cells that can be used for a myriad of downstream applications. This shared resource supports Wilmot’s basic and clinical researchers by providing cutting-edge resources and the technical expertise to make optimal use of these in both research and clinical trials.

Services include:

• Cell analysis and sorting services, including cell analysis, cell sorting, mass cytometry, and imaging cytometry
• High-dimensional analysis using publicly available software and analytical pipelines and serving as a conduit to the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource for researchers needing advanced analytical support
• Development and optimization of new and novel flow cytometry assays and techniques

Find additional details on services and equipment at URMC Flow Cytometry.

Wilmot members receive an average of 40% off list price across all services.

NCI Designation and Acknowledging the CCSG

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has designated the University of Rochester's Wilmot Cancer Institute as the nation’s 73rd cancer center.  Communicating the outcomes of NIH-funded projects and the role of NIH support in biomedical research enhances public understanding of how we, as a research community, are working to improve human health.  To properly acknowledge the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) in your work which utilized the Shared Resources since March 15th, 2025, please include the following statement in the acknowledgement section of your publication(s):

“The work described in this publication Cytometry Shared Resource at the Wilmot Cancer Institute, supported in part by the University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute Support Grant #P30CA272302. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health."

Importantly, Wilmot members should use our CCSG Shared Resource terminology to acknowledge the cores in publications, presentations, and grants.  Therefore,

• Instead of Flow Cytometry Resource, use Cytometry Shared Resource.
