Morning session: Flow Cytometry
10:00 – 12:30
Discover the power of flow cytometry and NovoCyte’s unique features for rapid, multiparametric analysis of cells in suspension. This morning session will guide you through the principles and practical applications of this essential technique in cell biology and immunology research.
What to Expect:
- Theoretical foundation
Gain a comprehensive understanding of flow cytometry principles, including fluidics, optics, applications and data interpretation. Learn about panel design, compensation strategies, and best practices for experimental setup.
- Real-world applications
Hear directly from an experienced researcher who will share their journey using the NovoCyte in their work. Learn about practical challenges, innovative solutions, and how this technique has advanced their research goals.
- Hands-On Experience
Get practical experience operating a NovoCyte flow cytometer
Afternoon Session: Real-Time Cell Analysis
13:00 – 15:30
Explore the dynamic world of real-time cell analysis and unlock insights into living cell behavior. This afternoon session focuses on label-free, non-invasive technologies that enable continuous monitoring of cellular responses.
What to Expect:
- Theoretical foundation
Understand the principles behind real-time cell analysis systems, including impedance-based measurements and kinetic monitoring, with or without the imaging module (E-Sight)
- User experience spotlight
Dr. Hannah Zaryouh from University of Antwerp will share her experience using the xCELLigence in her research.
“RTCA as a solid member for evaluation of novel CAR NK cell therapies”
- Hands-on experience
Engage with real-time cell analysis platforms in our practical session.
