The Dean's CoRE Program needs your input!

To improve the operations of our core facilities, the Dean's CoRE Program is requesting your feedback as a past, current, or potential future user of its equipment and services. While providing your feedback, you have the option to stay anonymous or provide your name and email so that we can reach out to improve your experience with the core equipment, services, or staff. Thank you for your time and interest in providing your feedback. We appreciate it!

The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and will be open until Friday, April 11, 2025.

Thank you for your participation!

Flow Cytometry Center Of Research Excellence

Our mission is to provide all members of the ISMMS community with outstanding research cytometry Service, to disseminate technical knowledge through Education, and to advance scientific discovery through Innovation. The medium of our mission is flow cytometry.
 

The ability to measure high-order multidimensional data with single cell granularity is the scientific power of flow cytometry. To acquire these measurements at rates of thousands per second and virtually unlimited population size is the statistical glory of flow cytometry. To use this data and return a highly purified subpopulation of live functional cells is the magic of cell sorting.
 

Given this power, the CORE provides all members of the Mount Sinai community the instrumentation and subject expertise to incorporate flow cytometry and cell sorting into any research project. Please explore these web pages to learn more about our amazing services and brilliant people.

 

 Access and Training

 

New users of the Flow Cytometry CORE iLabs site can download the User Guides in the section below titled " "links and resources"

The CORE operates a structured training program that is detailed on the Request Services page. The sequence of classes begins with the Introduction to the CORE. 

 

 About Acknowledgments

 

The lifeblood of an academic institution is publication. Likewise the metric of success of a shared resource facility is acknowledgement. Please remember to acknowledge the contribution of the CORE to your publications. We suggest including in your acknowledgements section verbiage such as:

"We would like to thank the expertise and assistance of the Dean's Flow Cytometry CORE at Mount Sinai."

Authorship, however, should follow the guidelines set forth in the Faculty Handbook.

ATTENTION! If your fund number is missing from your lab, go to the "Membership Requests & Funds" tab, scroll down to the "Request access to additional funds" field, and enter the Cloud Number. If the Cloud Number doesn't appear, email Kishore.Madiraju@mountsinai.org and iLab@mssm.edu to request that the Cloud Number be imported to iLab. If your Cloud Number can't be imported, you'll be referred to SPF@mountsinai.org to get your Cloud Number renewed/extended.

If the Cloud Number is in the lab but you can't make a reservation or purchase, please check with the PI and/or Lab Finance Manager, as they can grant you access to a fund number in the lab. If you can access the Cloud Number but still can't reserve equipment, check with the Core and ensure that training isn't needed to make a reservation. If it's not a training requirement, please email ilab-support@agilent.com for technical support.

Note: iLab pulls Cloud (Fund) Number details from the COA Website (http://coa.mountsinai.org), and if the expiration date shows as expired, iLab purges it from the system.
