Master Flow Cytometry with These Bite Size Webinars

Flow cytometry can be complicated with many different things to learn. If you are too busy to watch hours of videos especially when you only need a brief reminder of certain topics, we have the solution!

Bio-Rad has launched a new webinar series: Flow Cytometry Shorts. These webinars detail various key aspects of flow cytometry in short digestible sections (less than 10 min), designed to be watched when you have a quick break during experiments.

Our first series focuses on the importance of controls. While they can be a chore, performing the right controls for your experiment can make the difference between great and unusable data

Sessions include:

Viability Controls

Sharon Sanderson, PhD, Flow Cytometry Research Associate, Life Science Group at Bio-Rad

The quality of flow cytometry data is often dependent on the quality of your sample. The viability of your sample is important as dead cells will have high autofluorescence and bind antibodies nonspecifically.

Isotype Controls

Sharon Sanderson, PhD, Flow Cytometry Research Associate, Life Science Group at Bio-Rad

Performing the right controls for your experiment can make the difference between great and unusable data. Isotype controls are one of the controls that can improve your experiment by determining background staining. However they have to be used correctly and in the right situation.

Compensation Controls

Sharon Sanderson, PhD, Flow Cytometry Research Associate, Life Science Group at Bio-Rad

Flow cytometry relies on fluorophores conjugated to antibodies to detect markers of interest both on the cell surface and intracellular. Fluorophores are molecules that accept light energy at a given wavelength, in flow cytometry from lasers, and rapidly emit this light at a longer wavelength.

Other Flow Controls

Sharon Sanderson, PhD, Flow Cytometry Research Associate, Life Science Group at Bio-Rad

As with any experiment, careful planning and controls are important in flow cytometry. In this webinar, we give an overview of less common flow cytometry controls worth considering in your experiment and their benefits.
