SUMMARY:iQue Screener PLUS workshop
DESCRIPTION:The UNC Flow Cytometry Core invites users and interested investigators to learn more about the Intellicyt iQue Screener PLUS This is a high through put flow cytometer capable of running 96 and 384-well rapid screening (about 5 minutes per 96-well plate). \nThis is a 3-laser (violet\, blue\, yellow-green) high throughput flow cytometer capable of detecting up to 13 colors of fluorescence.  \nAn introduction to the instrument and training on the ForeCyt software will be held in Room 2004 Marsico Hall on Wednesday February 22. This class is open to all interested investigators.  \n\nMorning: Introduction and basics\nLunch: Advanced applications/ ForeCyt software\nAfternoon: Instrument demo/running samples\n\nFor more information on the instrument configuration\, you can go to our website:  https://www.med.unc.edu/flowcytometry/instrumentation-2/analyzers/intellicyt-ique-screener    \nFor more information on the iQue Screener: http://www.intellicyt.com/ique-screener.html \nIf you are interested in running a sample plate\, we are taking limited requests to run by appointment. Contact Sebastien Coquery to schedule.  \nNo reservations are needed to attend the ForeCyt class.

SUMMARY:Lunch 'N Learn: The Antibody Crisis: Leveraging machine learning for evidence-based antibody search
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging presentation on \nThe Antibody Crisis: Leveraging machine learning for evidence-based antibody search\nby Maurice Shen from BenchSci \nThe“reproducibility crisis” has generated much attention in the research community over the past years. While the issue is multifaceted at its core\, rogue antibodies have been identified as one of the major culprits. \nTo ensure scientists can find antibodies that have been proven to work repeatedly by peers\, we developed an open-access resource that uses a machine learning algorithm to screen the literature and identify which and how antibodies have been cited. The resulting peer-reviewed data are searchable by protein targets or product identifier\, and are filterable by experimental contexts as cited in papers\, including technique\, tissue\, cell line\, to help users pinpoint antibodies that have been published under experimental conditions matching their study interest. \nFreely accessible resource for UNC and affiliated scientists at https://landing.benchsci.com/academic \nLocation: Bondurant Hall\, Room G030 \nPlease RVSP for this Lunch N’ Learn event so we can prepare enough food for everyone! RVSP link: https://www.addevent.com/event/ON3105846 \nSponsored by the SOM Office of Research Technologies \n

SUMMARY:Flow Cytometry Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:Two Day intensive advanced Flow Cytometry Training by Expert Cytometry\nTuesday-Wednesday July 30-31\, 2019 \nRegister here:  https://unc2019.eventbrite.com \n$500 for two days. \nUNC Flow Core users\, please email the core for a discount code to save $200. \nRegistration extended to 7/20/19. \nThis training is aimed at investigators who wish to improve their understanding of Flow Cytometry. The Introductory Flow Cytometry Training is a pre-requisite for UNC investigators. \n\nSyllabus:\nDay 1 \nPrinciples and best practices for compensation -Starting with the three rules of compensation\, this lecture will delve into the process of compensation\, and provide an understanding of the underlying assumptions of the three rules. \nEssential controls in cytometry – With the reproducibility crisis in science at the fore of peoples minds\, it is critical that your flow cytometry experiments contain the necessary controls for proper data interpretation.  Lacking these controls\, or overinterpreting a control can prove disastrous to your data. \nPractical 1:  Compensation practice – using a 5-color dataset with both beads and cells to practice automated compensation and while testing the assumptions of the three rules of compensation. \nData analysis – Data analysis starts during the experimental design process\, and ends with statistical analysis.  Learn what Capablanca meant by “In order to improve your game\, you must study the endgame before everything else.” \nDesigning experimental workflows – A flow cytometry experiment is more than adding some cells and antibodies together\, especially if the experiment will be part of a larger study.  This process includes the design\, optimization\, validation\, execution\, analysis and reporting of the final results. This lecture will focus on these steps and how each builds on the previous. \nPractical 2:  Data analysis – Using a high-dimensional dataset\, learn how to establish an analysis workflow\, along with some tips and tricks to make secondary analysis easier.\nTroubleshooting – Murphy’s law is bound to strike when you least expect it.  This lecture will cover some important concepts in identifying and solving some of the most common flow cytometry errors. \nDay 2 \nPanel Optimization – This lecture will focus on a deep dive on steps to help improve the quality of your flow cytometry panel.  This will cover topics including choosing the right machine\, implementing experimental controls and the theory of validation. \nPrinciples of Panel Design – The panel is central to the flow cytometry experiment.  Building on the concepts already presented\, this lecture will provide a theoretical guide to designing a flow cytometry panel using the information about the instrument\, fluorochromes and the cells. \nPractical 3:  Panel Design Exercise – Using the theory described in the course\, we will design a polychromatic panel designed to answer a pressing biological question.  With the information provided groups will design and present their best panels. \nAddressing reproducibility – Glen Begley described the fact that only 11% of 53 landmark oncology studies were reproducible.  With the time\, money and effort poured forth in biomedical research\, it is critical that we do better.  This lecture will use “Begley’s rules” to review the mindset for improving reproducibility. \nStatistical Analysis – When all is said and done\, flow cytometry data can be used to support or refute an experimental hypothesis.  This lecture will discuss some theory and considerations that should be considered for proper statistical analysis. \nRare event detection – With the ability to measure millions of events in short order\, flow cytometry is an ideal tool for looking for the cellular needle in the body’s haystack.  This lecture will cover three areas that are critical to monitor to be successful in rare event analysis. \nPrinciples of cell sorting – Isolation of cells for downstream applications\, especially genomic analysis\, is an extremely valuable tool for researchers.  Even if you are not running a cell sorter\, this lecture will provide practical tips for designing your next sorting experiment. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fluorescence Compensation webinar
DESCRIPTION:“Advanced 4-18 Color Compensation Strategies For 2019” – Free webinar from Excyte \nThe webinar starts Thursday\, October 24th at 1 PM EDT. \nOne of the most common mistakes that has been passed down incorrectly by word of mouth over the years is the idea that it’s “okay” to do manual compensation. \nManual compensation is not okay. \nManual compensation is the process of adjusting the compensation based on how the data visually looks. \nIf you have manually compensated data in your lab notebook – strike it out\, and then redo your experiment. \nWhy? \nBecause manual compensation results in overcompensated data\, yielding incorrect conclusions. \nThe best practice is to use automatic compensation algorithms that are available in the most current versions of flow cytometry software. \nFor automatic compensation to be successful\, the following 3 rules must be followed: \n\nControls must be at least as bright as the samples they will be applied to. Brighter is better\, but not off scale.\n\n\nBackground fluorescence should be the same between the negative and positive population. Avoid using the universal negative for compensation.\n\n\nThe compensation color must be the same as the experimental color. For example\, don’t use Alexa488 to compensate for FITC.\n\nFollowing these three rules is easy when you’re doing a 1-color\, 2-color\, or even a 3-color flow cytometry experiment. \nHowever\, the process of compensating your experiment properly becomes much more complicated when you’re preparing 4-18 color experiments. \nFor this reason\, we’ve put together a rare\, FREE public webinar that will show you how to compensate 4-18 color experiments \n
