Join us for our next course
Three days of practical, small-group training in clinical flow cytometry
Medical and scientific meetings are a key forum for the latest clinical information in patient care. To keep up with best practice, clinicians and laboratorians need current knowledge from annual meetings and focused courses like this one.
Faculty and participants work side by side in small groups, at about 1 faculty member for every 5 participants. You get the guidance you need and build connections that stay useful when you're back in your lab.
What we'll cover
Course topics
Instrumentation
Instrument setup, standardization across cytometers, and compensation.
Panel Design & Validation
Building and validating multicolor assays and keeping quality under ongoing review.
Recognizing Normal
A "difference from normal" approach across blood, marrow and lymph node.
Chronic Lymphoid Disorders
Real case examples of mature B-cell and T-cell neoplasms.
Acute Leukemia
AML, ALL and mixed lineage leukemia, WHO classification and MRD.
Troubleshooting
Spotting artifacts that lead to wrong interpretation, and how to fix them.
Learning objectives
After completing this course, attendees will be able to:
- Demonstrate increased knowledge of flow cytometry and how it is applied to patient diagnosis and care
- Describe the latest techniques and approved standards in flow cytometry
- Demonstrate a better understanding of how flow cytometry is used to diagnose leukemia and lymphoma, and of the related diagnostic guidelines
- Demonstrate hands-on analysis skills
