The focus of this conference will be on advanced technology for flow
cytometry, image analysis, and cell separation including cell sorting. Both
the scientific and engineering communities are invited to submit abstracts.
Companies who manufacture components relevant to analytical cytology are
invited to have their scientific and/or engineering staff submit technical
papers characterizing their technologies. =20
The suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
* new analytical parameters and probes
* time-based detection systems
* new methods for cell separation
* high-speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological objects
* multiparameter cell analysis and data manipulation
* new digital image analysis technology including advances in 3D imaging
* new components for analytical cytology instrumentation including
* ultraminiature systems
* new dyes and probes
* new and unusual applications of analytical cytology
* new methods and techniques for standardizing analytical cytology
