    • Industry: LSRFortessa/CytoflexLX/FACSCanto-II: $150/hour

    • Fast, reliable and professional work guaranteed. We will work with you along the way to ensure you get quality results that suit your need, weather it is for paper publication or for grant application.

Cell Sorting

Academics price:

    • $40/hour (after the first 40-hour sorting)

Industry price: 

• • $150/hour

  • No fees for presorting consultation, instrument setup [at least an hour for aseptic sort], laser warm-up and instrument shutdown processes of the sorting. Fee only applies to the actual cell sorting process from when your tube is loaded till when the sorting is done.

  • Late fee: Please note that extra late charges will apply at $55/hour for users who are more than 1 hour late for their scheduled cell sorting (i.e., $100 for being 2-hour late).

Immunophenotyping Services

• • We also provide antibodies and reagents for these panels at a charge of $20 per panel per sample if you do not want to purchase your own antibodies.

  • The hourly rate for instrument/technician time involving sample processing, acquisition on the instrument and data analysis is $70/hour.

Training

For LSRFortessa, Cytoflex LX or FACSCanto-II, training for users completely new to flow cytometry includes two separate sessions: 1) 2-hour lecture; 2) 2-hours hands-on supervised sample acquisition.  For those familiar with flow cytometry, there is a single training session consisting of 0.5 hour overview of the background followed by 1.5hr hands-on supervised sample acquisition.

Training fee is as following:

• • • Academics: 

New user: $175 for 2.5 hour lecture session + $175 for 2.5 hour hands-on session.   

Expert user: $175 for 2 hour hands-on session

• • • Industry: 

New user: $350 for 2.5 hour lecture session + $350 for 2.5 hour hands-on session.   

Expert user: $350 for 2 hour hands-on session

For all trainees, we will assist you until you are completely comfortable working on your own.  Any additional training session requested by the users (e.g. refresher hands-on training, assisted sample acquisition after the training, etc.) will be charged for $70/hr
