Basic Course in Flow Cytometry

Aim

Basic introduction to flow cytometry. The theoretical part of the course should enable the students to understand applications for flow cytometry. In addition, the student will have hands-on training in analyzing flow cytometry data during the practical data analysis part of the course which will be introduced in seminars by the course leaders.

Content

Theoretical part:

• The course leaders will give a theoretical introduction to flow cytometry and some of the most common applications.
• Practical part: Hands-on data analysis training for both conventional and spectral flow cytometry
