Learning objectives

The training objectives of the course are: knowledge of the fundamental principles and main applications of flow cytometry; ability to choose the most suitable test to answer the investigation question; ability to perform a multiparametric cytometry experiment (choice of fluorochromes, spectral compensation, management of the instrument and the acquisition and analysis software); ability to analyze and interpret cytometric data.

Prerequisites and basic notions

No prerequisites required.

Program

The fundamental principles of flow cytometry: introduction and historical notes, the components of the instrument, notes on the light-matter interaction, notes on the optical path, analysis and interpretation of the data. Multiparametric flow cytometry: introduction, fluorochromes, controls in flow cytometry, spectral compensation. The main applications of multiparametric flow cytometry: immunophenotyping in immunology and haematological diagnostics; phosphospecific flow cytometry. Latest generation flow cytometry: mass cytometry and spectral cytometry.
