Courses
The Twenty First Annual Clinical course on Flow and Image Cytometry, (August 30 - September 4, 2009), takes a practical approach to training participants in clinical flow cytometry using hands-on laboratory and computer work in small groups to supplement lectures. It is taught by distinguished faculty of experts in clinical flow cytometry. Lectures will cover a variety of general and advanced topics and there will be many opportunities for informal discussion. The emphasis of the course will be divided between basic flow theory, current practice in the clinical laboratory, flow cytometric diagnosis of leukemia & lymphoma, and frontiers for the future. The Course will be limited to approximately 45 participants who will attend lectures together and then break into small groups of about eight students to rotate through their choice of seven laboratory modules.
Compensation in Flow Cytometry Analyses This discussion, provided by Mario Roederer’s site, gives a detailed overview of compensation and contains examples as well as mathematical treatments necessary to understand compensation thoroughly. It also covers the pitfalls of compensation, and some of the more esoteric points that are involved in the process.
Protocols for Fluorescence Conjugation of Monoclonal Antibodies An excellent series of protocols and notes to aid in the conjugation of monoclonal antibodies - - to fluorescent dyes provided by Mario Roederer”s site.
You may e-mail the laboratory for an updated CD of Wallaces’ or the Stewarts’ section of the National Flow Course.
Immunophenotyping and Four Color Compensation are both Powerpoint presentations with sound. If you view the slide show and click on the speaker you can hear the explanation of the slide. If you view the notes pages you can read what the sound says.
Strategies is a Powerpoint Lecture taught at the annual flow course. Other items on the CD are PDF files of various publications and SOPs on what is taught in the laboratory.
