Konz, Richard |
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 multi‐parameter, 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 Richard

phrase has a literal meaning: We are all in the same boat. |
