The CEB’s Bioimaging Core Facility provides cutting-edge microscopic/macroscopic imaging and flow cytometry/cell sorting instrumentation to the university community to enable superior research and quality result outcomes.
Our equipment inventory consists of a wide array of microscopes, multimode (fluorescence/bioluminescence) microtiter plate (1-1536 well) readers, a BD FACSAria fluorescence-activated cell sorter/flow cytometer, and an in vitro/in vivo IVIS fluorescence/bioluminescence imaging system. We provide education, training, and assistance with data analysis to ensure that your research and development needs are optimally met.
Micro/Macroscopic Imaging Applications
All animal use within our facility must have approval by the UT Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)
The CEB Bioimaging Core Facility is located in room 720 of the Science and Engineering Research Facility (SERF).
We provide training on all our imaging equipment either on a one-to-one basis, or we can accommodate complete labs or departments. General training sessions are provided at the beginning of each spring, fall, and summer semester and are open to faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, technical personnel, and undergraduate and high school students participating in independent research projects. We also offer training at various times throughout each semester based on user needs. Other training sessions will be posted as needs dictate. Please contact us if you require training at any other time during the year.
The Bioimaging Core Facility will provide users with quantitative fluorescent and bioluminescent images for downstream analysis or publication in all standard formats. High-throughput imaging can be performed in up to 1536-well formats with temperature and CO2/O2 atmospheric control. Flow cytometry includes single cell sorting.
