Tuition and Expertise

Training Courses

The FCCF runs two three-day ”driving licence” courses under the aegis of the DASC-DOC Ph. D school and the SDU post-education (SDUe) scheme, respectively. The courses take place 3- to 4 times a year. See Courses or SUDe, respectively, for further information.

Literature

There are two booklets by Graham Leslie entitled

            “Flow Cytometry: A Basic Guide” and
            “Flow Cytometric Cell Sorting: A Basic Guide”

feel free to down-load.

Tuition

Specialised group- or individual tuition can be arranged.

Expertise

The core facility staff is experienced in sorting on the basis of

• phenotypic markers,
• cell cycle,
• DNA-binding dye exclusion (“side-populations”) and
• calcium ion flux 

as 2-way, 4-way or clonal (96-well) sorts.

In terms of analytical flow Cytometry, the unit is well versed in

• cell phenotyping,
• marker quantitation,
• cell proliferation analyses,
• intracellular probing,
• phagocytosis assays,
• calcium mobilisation and
• measurement of apoptosis.

Members of the unit are always willing to give specific advice about the technical and strategic aspects of Flow Cytometry/Cell Sorting. Just ask!
