IU Bloomington Flow Cytometry Core Facility

Hi folks! As we work on building a new website in the IU framework, please go to this temporary site - iubfccf.wixsite.com/iubfccf. It may be missing a few things, but it has the important stuff. 😁
Good news is that many IU sites are now back up and running. 🥳

VFB works closely with the FlyBase team and we rely on their hard work to provide many of our features. Due to the current funding situation at FlyBase (flybase.org), we encourage our users to donate and help maintain this essential resource.

Excited to be attending this year's conference! 🥳

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025!

Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide!

Welcome to the basement! 👋TC facility looks great! Envious of the shiny clean floors.😆

IUB FCCF personnel will be working from home today. Enjoy this winter wonderland everyone, and stay safe! ❄️❄️❄️

Peristaltic tubing connecting the sample probe to the Peek tubing of the flow cell. Cover removed.

Tubing, pumps, a sheath damper and the sheath filter inside the right side of a CytoFLEX instrument. Right panel removed.

In case anyone was wondering what the peristaltic tubing (left - cover removed) or sheath damper (right - clear thing with ~1/3 liquid; the liquid is supposed to be there) of a CytoFLEX LX looks like.

Favorite line in the paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... (Mack Fulwyler in his own words by
J. Paul Robinson)

“…It arose from less admirable motivation..."

Mack Fulwyler answering the question of "WHY DID YOU INVENT THE CELL SORTER?"

We might already be added, and if so, thank you! (still figuring some things out in this place). Regardless, this was too cute to resist.

Yay! @fpbase.org is here! Our favorite fluorescent protein database. 😍

A serious question for scientific article reviewers: if the authors include flow cytometry as a method, and show NO flow cytometry data (in the form of histograms, dot plots, etc.), not even supplemental, do you not ask them in the review where the flow cytometry data is?
