33nd Meeting of the Danish Society for Flow Cytometry
- 33rd Meeting, Aarhus, 29 October 2004.
Polychromatophilia
- a cytometric syndrome worth aquiring
- a primer on selection of fluorochromes and conjugation techniques.
In the light of the availability of more than six channels for data acquisition on serially produced flow cytometers and the expansion of the range of available small activated fluorochromes the selection of directly conjugated antibodies to fluorochromes of choice becomes an issue worth considering. We can tackle this issue by offering a workshop on conjugation including quality control of the conjugate - bring your own antibody and conjugate it to a fluorochrome of your choice.
Program:
Organizers: Hans Jürgen Hoffmann and Bjarne Møller.
- Antibody Conjugation Workshop (09:00-12:00)
Bartholinbygningen, Ole Worms Allé, 8000 Århus C.
Instructors: Mario Roederer & Hans Jürgen Hoffmann.
Registration: The workshop is limited to 18 participants. Members of DSFCM will have priority. Register for the workshop by e-mail to Hans Jürgen Hoffmann.
The workshop is sponsored by Molecular Probes / Invitrogen Detection Technologies.
- 09:00–10:30 Conjugation reactions and separation of antibody from unreacted dye.
