What can the CAC do for you? 

The Cellular Analysis Core (CAC; RRID:SCR_026328) encompasses instrumentation for the analysis of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and tissues by three complementary methods: (1) Flow cytometry; (2) Histology; and (3) Single cell RNA sequencing. The CAC provides access to functional, up-to-date equipment for flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting, histological sample preparation, and single cell RNA Sequencing which is essential for all researchers in immunology, infectious disease, and cell biology and ishighly usefulfor scientists in other related fields.
