Can I run any dye on the instruments?

Running any particular dye on any of the instruments will depend on the absorption and excitation spectrum of that specific dye. The facility’s cytometers are equipped with various laser lines. Please visit instruments to get a full list of lasers and their corresponding filter sets. You can also check out Fluorescent SpectrumViewers from BD Biosciences, ThermoFisher Scientific, BioLegend, Fluorofinder, and others for absorption/emission information.
