One of the main challenges in the labs studies of endocrine regulation has been the differentiation of unique cell types present in the pituitary gland. Flow cytometry has been used to differentiate heterogeneous populations of cells in various fields and this approach has been successfully employed in studying pituitary cells in the past. The acquisition of the Accuri C6 Plus will enable the lab to introduce a powerful new cell-based approach that will enable the lab to study sub-populations of specialized cells on a molecular level. The Accuri C6 can be employed in other cell-based studies beyond the pituitary gland that will open avenues for collaborations with other laboratories here at the National Institutes of Health. This cytometer is a powerful workhorse of the BD cytometry program with two lasers and four channels.
