Training

To become an independent user, user training is needed for the instrument of interest in the facility that the instrument is located in.

Before user training, it is good to get acquainted with basic flow cytometry (see end of the page). Remember to consider the experiment in hand (e.g. do you need to collect the cells of interest or just to analyse and how many or what kind of fluorocromes/markers/proteins will define intrument need). Contact personnel if you are planning a new experiment or have any questions. The training includes hands-on training for the instrument, usually one or two 2-3 h period with practical guidance for working in the facility and help with the first experiment set up. Remember then to schedule the first run with the personnel.
