Education and Training
We offer the following courses, which are open to both internal and external (academic and industrial) delegates:
New User Course
Course fee: Free
New user (or refresher) meetings are held every three months and cover the basics of flow cytometry. There is usually a commercial sponsor invited to these meetings to give a talk on recent developments and/or relevant information within the flow cytometry field.
In Depth Colour Compensation Course (two days)
Course fee: £400 (please enroll here)
This course is run approximately four times per year. It provides an understanding of the principles, concepts and technology of flow cytometry, and gives an in-depth look at all steps leading to a stable multicolour experiment. Students begin by getting a thorough theoretical grounding in flow cytometry and then move on to supervised hands-on experience of the instruments and experiments – including both basic and advanced multi-coloured experiments.
International Flow Cytometry Meeting (one day "Praticalities of Cellular Analysis " April 25 2013)
Course fee: £25 (Newcastle University delegates can pay by grant number here)
This annual conference covers all aspects of flow cytometry,Bio Imaging and Electron microscopy.
A trade exhibition runs alongside the main meeting, and industry speakers are often featured in the scientific sessions. Plenary talks are given by keynote speakers , and parallel sessions are used to focus on specific technologies or techniques in more detail.
