Fundamentals Of Flow Cytometry - An Introductory Course

Flow cytometry is a modern and potent tool of life sciences and biological sciences. Whenever I think about this technology and its applications, I get mesmerized by the fact a single cell can be analyzed so quickly for its physical and chemical properties and this process can be repeated for millions of cells. This introductory course will help you to understand the meanings of words like cytometry immunophenotyping, hydrodynamic focusing and many more. This course is very suitable even for those students who have just begun their journey of experimental biology.

This course starts its journey with the discussions on basic principle of flowcytometry, the functioning of instrument and definitions of basic parameters like FSC, SSC and fluorescence signal. After the fundamental discussion this course takes you through various important applications of flowcytometry like live dead cell analysis, apoptosis analysis, cell cycle analysis, immunophenotyping and intracellular marker analysis etc.

The best part about this course is that to explain different applications the help of virtual experiments has been taken and original flowcytometry data and graphs have been used.

Lets Enjoy this introductory journey of flowcytometry with me and add the knowledge of this important analytical tool in your academic experience.
