Flow cytometry is a powerful technique for the analysis of multiple parameters of individual cells within heterogeneous populations. Flow cytometry is used in a broad range of applications including immunophenotyping, fluorescent protein detection, rare event analysis, cell health characterization, and more. In this presentation we will review the basics of fluorescence and how to use a fluorescence excitation/emission spectrum, compare conventional vs. full spectrum flow cytometry, and review numerous types of fluorophores listing advantages and challenges of each. This webinar is useful for new and practiced cytometry users interested in learning the general concepts of fluorescence, and details of the commonly used fluorophores behind flow cytometry.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the basic introduction to the fluorescence process and key terms
- Interpret fluorescence spectra to identify fluorophore characteristics
- Compare the basics of conventional vs. spectral flow cytometry
- List advantages of common fluorophores used in flow cytometry
Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
