Within FluoroFinder, these custom cytometer configurations are housed in "Facilities" (which can be though of as a lab) within larger "Institutions" (companies/universities/etc.).  Associating your profile with your "Institution" and "Facility" ensures you have access to the custom configurations they house. Associating your profile with an "Institution" and "Facility" can be done during the second step of registration to the site, when asked to "Select your Institution" ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-03-57-16-4103-PM.png?width=611&height=291&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-03-57-16-4103-PM.png) First enter your Institution name (e.g. University of South Florida), select the matching entry, and then select the appropriate Facility from the populated drop-down list ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-03-58-34-8403-PM.png?width=600&height=198&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-03-58-34-8403-PM.png) Alternatively, if you did not specify an Institute or Facility during account registration, or you need to change your Institute or Facility, you can do so by navigating to the "My Account" page.  This can be found by clicking the tile with your name and subscription status at the top right hand corner of any FluoroFinder screen: ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-00-43-8659-PM.png?width=196&height=81&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-00-43-8659-PM.png) From the drop-down list, select "My Account": ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-02-11-7414-PM.png?width=195&height=299&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-02-11-7414-PM.png) Click the "Institution and Facility" header to expand the section: ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-02-51-2398-PM.png?width=688&height=230&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-02-51-2398-PM.png) Enter your "Institution" and select the matching entry from the drop-down box.  Then select the appropriate "Facility" from the "Facility" drop-down box (note, only existing Facilities associated with the selected Institution will show).   ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-05-18-5898-PM.png?width=688&height=167&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-05-18-5898-PM.png) If your Institution or Facility are not shown, see our help file on ["How to - Add Facility Cytometers to FluoroFinder"](https://help.fluorofinder.com/add-cytometers?hsLang=en) Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page, enter your "Current Password" in the associated box, and click "Update Profile" to finalize the changes ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-06-23-8035-PM.png?width=1139&height=218&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-06-23-8035-PM.png) You will be presented with a message that your account was updated successfully: ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-07-01-7456-PM.png?width=427&height=67&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-07-01-7456-PM.png) Once complete, you will now have access to the "Custom Dashboard" for your Facility by clicking "Dashboards" and selecting the matching name from the drop-down list: ![](https://help.fluorofinder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-08-01-2203-PM.png?width=410&height=155&name=image-png-Jul-29-2025-04-08-01-2203-PM.png) Additionally, your custom cytometer configurations will automatically be available from the drop-down lists in the Spectra Viewer and Panel Builder. - [Getting Started](https://help.fluorofinder.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Flow Cytometry Panel Builder Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/flow-cytometry-panel-builder-help-files?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Panel Builder Guides](https://help.fluorofinder.com/flow-cytometry-panel-builder-help-files?hsLang=en#panel-builder-guides) - [How To Guides](https://help.fluorofinder.com/flow-cytometry-panel-builder-help-files?hsLang=en#how-to-guides) - [Interpreting Data](https://help.fluorofinder.com/flow-cytometry-panel-builder-help-files?hsLang=en#interpreting-data) - [Product Search Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/product-search-help-files?hsLang=en) - [Dye Directory Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/dye-directory-help-files?hsLang=en) - [Cell Types Tool Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/cell-types-tool-help-files?hsLang=en) - [Inventory Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/inventory-help-files?hsLang=en) - [Training Help Files](https://help.fluorofinder.com/training-help-files?hsLang=en) - [Groups and Sharing](https://help.fluorofinder.com/groups-and-sharing?hsLang=en) - [Advanced tips and tricks](https://help.fluorofinder.com/advanced-tips-and-tricks?hsLang=en) - [Trouble Shooting](https://help.fluorofinder.com/trouble-shooting?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company # FluoroFinder fluorofinder.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, FluoroFinder
