CCMA 2021 Cytometry SRL Perspectives – Webcast

A 9-part series of informal 1-hr discussions to connect with your fellow Canadian SRL. Join us as we invite members of the cytometry/microscopy and SRL community to share their different perspectives and experiences in the following subject areas.

  • Podcast style with moderators for each session (CCMA EB) to facilitate discussion/ask questions
  • Focus on different perspectives
    • Microscopy vs. flow
    • Academia vs. industry vs. government
    • Clinical vs. research

Each session in the series will also feature a Canadian core facility in our “Meet the Cores of Canada” initiative.

Schedule

Description of Sessions

Session 1: Resolving the Small Stuff (Part 1) – Small Particle Flow Cytometry – Wed. Feb 17 @noon ET

There is increasing interest in the use of flow cytometry for phenotypic analysis of small particles such as extracellular vesicles and viruses. To detect these small particles, conventional flow cytometers are functioning at the limit of detection. There is currently no consensus on how small particles should be analysed on flow cytometers. This session brings together small particle flow cytometry gurus from around the world to share their different approaches to resolving the small stuff. 

Topics of Discussion:

  • Pros and cons of SSC vs FL threshold
  • Calibration methods and and the materials to use (FL & SSC) 

Guest Panelists: 

  • Edwin van der Pol (Amsterdam University Medical Centers/Exometry) 
  • Desmond Pink (Nanostics)
  • Joanne Lannigan (Flow Cytometry Support Services)
  • John Nolan (Scintillon Institute/Cellarcus)

Moderators:

  • Joshua Welsh (NIH)
  • Vera Tang (University of Ottawa)

Session 2: Instrument acquisition- Choosing the Right Instrument for your Facility – Wed. March 31, 2021 at 2.30PM ET

You have been asked to purchase the “best” instrument to suit the needs of the department/institution for the next 5 years. Awesome! But wait – there are so many investigators and multiple themes of research. How do you satisfy everyone’s needs? Do they even know what they need? You’ve been given a specific budget, but your preferred instrument is already well in excess of the budget. Some investigators are demanding that you purchase a different system because the vendor sold them on the “versatility” and the price is closer to the budget; but that instrument is only appropriate for their specific research… 

Join us and our expert panel for a discussion around important considerations for choosing the right instrument for your SRL.

 Moderators:

  • Desmond Pink, PhD (Nanostics, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada)
  • Emily C. Reddy, PhD (SickKids-UHN Flow Cytometry Facility, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada)

Guest Panelists:

  • Rachael Sheridan (Van Andel Institute, Grand Rapids, MI, USA)
  • Steve Ogg (Cell lmaging Centre, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada)
  • Rob Salomon (Institute of Biomedical Materials and Device, University of Technology Sydney, Australia)
  • Monica Delay (Technical Application Support at Cytek Biosciences)
