First Steps

1. Contact an operator to discuss your flow cytometry needs, experiment details and the type of data you plan to obtain. They will help you choose the right analytical instrument or sorter for your experiments.
2. Set up an iLab account and link an alias to your account for access to instrument and operator calendars.  From here you can schedule appointments for sorting or training with an operator.
3. Once you have training on an analyzer, you can use iLab to schedule unassisted appointments.
