Webinar: See what we analyze and sort at UCD Conway Institute
Webinar Abstract:
Join Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alfonso Blanco, the Director of the Flow Cytometry Core Technologies in the University College Dublin for a review of what he looks for in new cytometry analyzers and sorters and why the CytoFLEX SRT cell sorter was a good fit for users in the lab. Alfonso will then review some of the applications using the CytoFLEX SRT cell sorter. Highlighted applications include scatter changes and viability using sorting as confirmation, identifying cell populations from brain tissue, bacterial sorting, and a deep dive into important considerations for sorting submicron particles.
Learning Objectives
See highlighted sorting applications with mammalian and bacterial sample.
See how Dr. Alfonso Blanco evaluates nanoscale controls and other important considerations for analysis and sorting.
Learn methods to evaluate scatter for submicron and cellular samples.
