Meredith Weglarz is an American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) certified Specialist in Cytometry (SCYM) with extensive experience in immunology and flow cytometry. With over 10 years of experience, and knowledge and hands-on skills in multiple analytic flow cytometry instruments (including BD FACS LSR-Fortessa and BD FACS Symphony) as well as the BD FACS Aria Fusion Sorter, Meredith manages daily operation of the lab.
The UTMB Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Core Facility purpose is to provide investigators with state-of-the-art equipment and support for flow cytometric analysis and high-speed cell sorting. If your research requires cytometric analysis, our instruments acquire optical measurements using multiple lasers to detect fluorophores with precision. Samples are processed by individual investigators, who then bring samples to the Facility for flow cytometric analysis or cell sorting. Analytical applications can be performed directly by investigator or can be carried out by facility staff members. Investigator training in various types of applications, as well as software support is available. The Facility also aids with protocol development and implementation, experimental design, data analysis, and panel design.
Bio-Rad BioPlex 200 (Multiplex System)
Bead based system, uses 1 laser to detect different sizes of beads
Quantification of up to 100 analytes simultaneously
The Bio-Rad Bio-Plex II Plate Washer is available for use free of charge. This instrument is an automated plate washer. The plate washer includes three different adaptors (general plates, magnetic bead plates, and vacuum plates) for various types of plates. Wash buffer for this instrument is not provided by the facility please bring your own.
