The University of New Mexico Cytometry research group operates a central research facility, bringing together the necessary tools for UNM scientists to perform fluorescent cell analysis and sorting. The resource provides instrumentation, service, training, computational resources and technical expertise workshops.
The UNM Flow Cytometry facility utilizes the latest in fluorescence technologies, including the HyperCyt® high throughput flow cytometry system which was invented and developed here in the facility by Larry Sklar, Bruce Edwards and Fritz Kuckuck. HyperCyt® light scatter and fluorescence services have been demonstrated on multiple machines to provide up to 100 samples per minute throughput using samples of 1ul or less.
The UNM SFCR Central Laboratory is a 600 sq ft laboratory with an adjoining 200 sq ft office located on the second floor of the Cancer Research Facility. The Resource also has a dedicated 400 sq ft Microtechnology Laboratory located in the basement of the Cancer Research Facility.
