Dear IF Cytometry Centre (NEW) Users-To-Be,
We are pleased to announce a monthly (4th Monday of the month) training: Basic Theoretical Approach in Flow Cytometry Instrumentation (Training Part I). This is a pre-requisite to have the “On Hands Flow Cytometer Training” (Training Part II) and be able to become a self-user of BD Fortessa and/or ThermoFisher Attune NxT.
*This session is intended to be taken for any new user-to-be running FC experiments in ≤ 2 months of the date of the Part I session (meaning, Part 2 should be scheduled no more than two months after Part I).
What: Basic Theoretical Approach in FC Instrumentation (training Part I)
Where: FH-IMS-Level 5 Conf Rm
Date: Monday, 26-July-2026
Time: From 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
Audience: IFCC-new users-to-be
Sign in: Basic-Inst-Training (Part I) | IFCC _GEN | Microsoft Teams > Excel file “IFCC-Inst_session_training_calendar_(1)
In these 3 hours session we will cover:
-Fluidic system:
- Laminar vs turbulent flows: consequences in data acquisition
- Hydrodynamic focusing/Acoustic focusing
- Flow rate, core stream size and consequences in data acquisition
-Optical system:
- Forward and Side Scatter
- Photodetectors: adjusting voltages/gains
- Filters: beam splitters (LP and SP) and bandpass
- Parameters of the pulse and how to use them
- Forward Area Scaling Factor
-Electronic system:
- Amplifiers
- Signal conversion in digital FC
- Threshold and its consequences in data acquisition
- Laser delay
Please, spread the word to anyone who might be interested in taking this training.
Thank you,
The IFCC Team
