SUMMARY:Basic Theoretical Approach in Flow Cytometry Instrumentation (Training Part I)
DESCRIPTION: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, 27-April-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,
