External Users
CSCI Flow Cytometry is pleased to offer all of its services to users outside of Columbia. We have worked with external users from both other academic institutions and biotechnology companies.
In order to begin working with us, a service agreement needs to be signed by both Columbia and your institution or company. The service agreement is prepared by Columbia and will be initiated by CSCI Flow Cytometry staff.
In order to initiate the process of creating a service agreement, please first fill out the CSCI Flow Cytometry External User Access Form.
After submitting the form, please make sure to reach out to us to begin a discussion of how we can help support your research.
