Introduction to Flow Cytometry

MONTHLY ANALYSIS TRAINING

Monthly one day training course will be run from November.  12 places are available each session.  We spend time covering the theory, through to the hands on instrument time.  

FREE training sessions for all students:

Each month we will hold two flow training sessions made up of a 2hr talk, discussion, then followed by a 45minute 1-1 training session on the cytometer. The talk will be in the morning and then you can schedule a training slot that week, based on your schedule.  45 minutes for each instrument you want to learn.

Building on the 1 day short course, we have a  3 day course to learn about flow. We will start with the basics and get more complex to allow you to walk away feeling confident that you know what to do.  A great opportunity to play with flow for three solid days and cover everything that there is to know.

UBC PD funds can be used for this course

Course:

  • Small groups of 3 per instrument working through challenges.
  • Instrument maintenance, trouble shooting and general up keep.

For the past ten years, the UBC FLOW facility has been running advanced flow cytometry courses for various research networks across Canada; for example, the Stem Cell Network and Allergen Network. We opened the course up to all students across Canada and the world.  During the advanced flow cytometry course, we provide instruction on the necessary techniques and skills to enable students to move comfortably to the next level.
