Flow Cytometry for Stem Cell Researchers Presented by FloCyte

Held in conjunction with Clinical Translation of Stem Cells 2014

23 Apr 2014, at 09:00-17:00 in Palm Desert, CA, USA

Flow Cytometry is an excellent tool for the research and investigation of Stem cells in the research lab or for clinicians.  This one day course offered by FloCyte in tandem with the SELECTBIO Clinical Translation of Stem Cells 2014 Summit will focus on the advances in the technology for flow cytometry, and it's advantages and importance to Stem Cell science.

This course is ideally suited for clinicians seeking to deploy flow cytometry in their research/clinical activities as well as for researchers seeking a solid grasp of the theoretical and practical applications of flow cytometry. 

Topics Covered in this Training Course:

• Utilization and deployment of flow cytometry for research and clinical practice
  
• Common cell surface molecules used for stem cell characterization
• Intracellular staining methods for stem cells
• Elimination of artifacts via selective gating
• Strategies for staining cells of low abundance  (use of "filler" cells)
• What to expect from rare event sorting--instruments used and yields
• QA for the Clinic
