Reminder of CyTOF Seminar, Worcester, MA

 

Greetings everyone:

 

I am very pleased to announce the following seminar sponsored by the UMMS Collaborating Center on Human Immunology and Biodefense and the UMMS Flow Cytometry Core Facility:

 

Highly Multi-parametric Analysis of Single Cells with Mass Cytometry

 

Dr. Olga Ornatsky

Dr. Vladimir Baranov

University of Toronto

June 9th 11:30 am – 1 pm

Amphitheater I

Worcester Campus

Medical School Building

 

The ability to measure 30, 50 or more antigens simultaneously in single cells by mass

cytometry will broaden the impact of cytometry and provide unprecedented precision and

accuracy in the identification of rare cell populations. Fluorescent, quantum dot and other

optical methods have the weakness due to the overlap of the emission signals. Over the past 9

years, but outside the radar range of most of the flow cytometry community, a novel approach

using stable isotopes as tags in immunological assays with atomic mass spectrometry detection

has shown that the challenge can be readily addressed.

Mass Cytometry brings the power, resolution, sensitivity and quantitative capabilities of

atomic mass spectrometry to high throughput single cell analysis in order to address the

challenges of multiparameter, quantitative flow cytometry.

 

Lunch will be served.  Please RSVP by June 8th.

 

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who would benefit from this important seminar.

 

I look forward to see you on the 9th of June.

 

Please contact me if you have any questions.

 

All my best,

 

-Rich
