Flow Cytometry Core
The Flow Cytometry Core at Sidra Medicine provides advanced multiparametric cell analysis and sorting services to support discovery, translational, and clinically adjacent research. The core enables high-resolution characterization of immune cells, stem cells, and complex cellular populations through standardized workflows and expert scientific support.
We provide end-to-end support for study planning, including selection of appropriate flow cytometry strategies, panel design, controls, and downstream analysis workflows. This ensures that projects are technically feasible, efficient, and well aligned with biological or clinical objectives.
Trained users may independently access flow cytometry platforms for unassisted sample acquisition, while new or complex projects can be conducted as assisted sessions with core staff support. The core supports acquisition and sorting of both fixed and live samples across a range of experimental needs.
We support multiwell plate-based assays, large-scale phenotypic studies, and screening workflows using standardized acquisition protocols. These services are suitable for drug screening proteomic studies and high-content cellular analysis.
Advanced sorting services are available to isolate highly pure cell populations for downstream applications. The core supports complex, high-dimensional panels, single-cell sorting, and flexible collection formats to enable a broad range of experimental designs.
The Flow Cytometry Core supports bead-based proteomic assays for multiplexed protein and gene expression analysis from small sample volumes. These assays enable simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes in a single run and are well suited for immune profiling and translational research applications. Flow
We provide comprehensive data analysis and quantification support using established flow cytometry analysis platforms. Services include quality control, gating strategies, high-dimensional data analysis, and generation of reproducible, publication-ready results.
The Flow Cytometry Core offers structured training and certification on core instruments, as well as regular workshops covering flow cytometry acquisition, data analysis, and application-focused topics. Training is designed to build user competency and promote best practices across workflows.
The core supports specialized and clinical-adjacent workflows in collaboration with clinical departments, including validated assay support for Pathology, assisted reproductive services, and oncology-related immune assays. All services are delivered in alignment with institutional governance and quality requirements.
