A variety of computer software packages and platforms are available to collect and analyze data. In addition, the staff of the LCA offers expert knowledge and support in the use of this technology as it applies to numerous biological applications. The LCA is funded solely by the fees charged to the users of the facility.
All instruments have two different rates, one with operator assistance and one without.
Researchers may be trained to run most applications unassisted to reduce use fees. The Cytometry Training Course is offered quarterly by the LCA staff. The fees listed will be billed against the account number provided by the user at the time of registration for use of the instrument. Billing statements will be sent at the end of each month documenting times of use and charge. Some special setups, such as sterilization and laser wavelength change, have additional charges.
