FloCyte Regional Training Program

APPLICATION

    FloCyte is bringing TRAINING to YOUR location!!  

It is difficult to find travel funds and week days off for training, even if you can find a training program...

We want to bring this training to YOU - in your facility or one near you. 


Introduction to FloCyte Training Program 

Calendar

        The program is being designed to travel across the country so we have plans to hold a course in your region approximately once a quarter.   For information about hosting please contact FloCyte and we'll be more than happy to send you a Host Kit.  Click here to read some of the comments about our very successful training programs.  

Basic Course Curriculum

        Basic Training - BOOT CAMP - is the theme of this course - the very basic understanding of how flow cytometry works, and how to get the most out of it.  You will get a chance to see sample data acquisition and engage in some interactive exercises that will give you tools to use when you return to your labs!  .

Typical training times

Advanced Course Curricula

        We have several Advanced Courses in flow cytometry to offer now. Multiparameter Flow Cytometry and CompensationDNA and Cell Cycle Analysis, Intracellular flow and Apoptosis, dates are available for them on the website as they are scheduled.  We also offer a course for Biomedical Technicians, if it is your responsibility to maintain such an instrument.  Watch for new additions currently in the planning stages, on clinical flow cytometry, cell signaling, quantitative flow, sorting, and biotechnology techniques in flow.  If you have a topic you'd like taught, contact us - and we'll work together to prepare a program for your needs.

Individualized Consulting and personal training sessions

       If your company, institution or lab is in need of individualized consulting or training on flow techniques, instruments, software, or applications, FloCyte is available to come to you, bringing in a consultant to specifically help with your needs.  This service is highly personalized, we include just the type of training you request!  Prices for this training include the basic consulting fee of $1500 per day, plus $450 per person per course requested, and expenses for the instructor's travel.  Please contact FloCyte with specific requests. 

Resources

        We have prepared some of the resources we use in our courses for you to link to on-line or download!  A Glossary of flow cytometry terms is here... if you find a word that you are not familiar with, and it is not on this list, please let us know, and we will research it, add it on, and give you the best definition we can find!!   We also have listed here the Resources section of our training manuals.  These lists are not complete, but we are happy to add to them as we find more resources for you, so send us your suggestions!  Vendors, Professional Organizations, Books and Web resources, as well as the bibliography for our Multiparameter course are all available now for you to link to directly.  We also have several Sponsors who have supported our training programs in a variety of ways, hosting lunches, offering resources, literature, reagents, or Instruments!  Our thanks to them for helping in our success!  

Instructors Biographies

        Our instructors have an excellent reputation in the Flow world for their talent, training, and dedication to advancing the knowledge of flow operators.  We post their biographies here.

Application 

        Because we want you to get the most from your training, please fill out the application as honestly and completely as possible.  It is perfectly all right if you have never used or even seen a flow cytometer up close!  BUT if you have the desire to learn this scientific ART - and it is an ART! - fill out our application.  The fee is being kept low to allow as many as possible to take advantage of this opportunity, without the necessity of travel expenses.  Applications for the advanced course will be taken later - as we post that curriculum and itinerary. 

Your Benefits!!!

        You will 'graduate' with a certificate of accomplishment.  When possible, we will also offer continuing education credits - if you require them for your clinical license.  See each individual course for that information. 

The Cost
