Re: clinical flow cytometry

Hi all

There is also a new web site http://wiki.clinicalflow.com    It is in 
:"wiki" format, so the flow community can continue to add to it and share 
knowledge. The site contains  a list of resources (books, 
standards/consensus guidelines, references),  case studies and information 
about applications such as leukemias/lymphomas.

I encourage people not only to use it  aa a resource, but to add to the site 
with your experience and knowledge  to make it much more comprehensive.
