WHO SHOULD TAKE THE BASIC FLOW CYTOMETRY COURSE?
• Users of the core facility who plan to acquire their own samples and wish to operate the Becton Dickinson analytic flow cytometers under the supervision of the Core staff. Only graduates of this class are permitted to run their own samples on the instruments. • Investigators who do not intend to operate a flow cytometer but plan to use flow cytometry in their research. The theoretical tutorial will provide investigators with an overview of flow cytometric basics and will allow them to gain insight into the research potential of flow cytometry techniques. • All researchers and research associates (within UCLA and off-campus) with access to their own flow cytometers who wish to utilize this training resource. BENEFITS • Graduates of this class can acquire samples at a discounted rate compared to the technician-assisted rate on the analytic flow cytometers available in the core facility. • Graduates not only learn valuable flow cytometry principles and techniques, but they can reserve i
