ABSTRACT – FLOW CYTOMETRY SHARED RESOURCE 
Shared Resource Leader: Jordi Ochando, PhD 
The Tisch Cancer Institute (TCI) Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Facility (FCSRF) provides TCI members 
access to state-of-the-art technology and expertise for the successful development of scientific research 
projects. Flow cytometry is a powerful technology that enables researchers to study simultaneous 
multiparametric characteristics of thousands of cells per second to decipher complex cellular and molecular 
processes in health and disease. The FCSRF offers services for routine applications such as single cell 
isolation to rapidly isolate live cells conduct more innovative and complex biological studies such as RNAseq, 
metabolomics, and lipidomics assays. The FCSRF is comprised of the institutional Flow Cytometry Shared 
Resource Facility and two TCI satellite sites. The FCSRF is equipped with 4 analyzers, 2 mouse cell sorters, 3 
cell sorters contained in biosafety level 2+ areas dedicated to isolate non-fixed human samples and mouse 
cells infected with class II pathogens, and 1 mass cytometer (CyTOF). In addition, two satellite sites are 
equipped with 4 analyzers. Staffed with 7 flow and mass cytometry specialists committed at 100% to this 
facility, the SRF provides operational, training, and consultation services covering all aspects of flow cytometry 
including cell cycle analysis, isolation single cells from cancer patients, and identification of over 30 different 
cell surface/intracellular antigens on the same cell using mass cytometry. With this in mind, our mission is to 
provide the necessary instrumentation and knowledge regarding flow/mass cytometry and cell sorting so that 
Tisch Cancer Institute investigators improve human cancer diagnosis and treatment through basic sciences, 
translational, and clinical research.
