(Credit 1; weeks 1-5)
Abbreviated Title: FLOW CYTO TECH APP MOD
Prerequisite: Consent of instructor
Instructor: J.P. Robinson
Technical Assistant: Kathy Ragheb
This module will provide a strong engineering based background of the technologies involved in cell counting and identification used in pathology and hematology systems. The course will provide 5 lectures which will cover all of the basic technologies used in flow cytometryÜoptical systems, fluidic systems, lasers and detection systems, sample preparation and application and multiparameter data processing. The laboratory component will ensure the student fully understands how the instrumentation operates in the regular clinical and research settings. The student will participate in sample preparation, running samples, analyzing the data and interpreting the results.
