The Flow Cytometry facility contributes to the University of Minnesota Cancer Center's mission to educate the public about cancer research by demonstrating flow cytometry procedures both on-site at the Cancer Center and in the community.

The Flow Cytometry staff members also provide hands-on demonstrations of its equipment and they show computer animation of cell sorting at the Cancer Center's annual Cancer and the Human Body event at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
