Current Protocols in Flow Cytometry

The Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Core Laboratory is proud to announce the acquisition of a key library resource in the planning and execution of experiments in the flow cytometry.

The resource is Current Protocols in Cytometry, Copyright© 2007 by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. This reference work is part of a well known and respected series of "Current Protocols" publications from Willey Interscience.

The resource as described by the publisher:

Published in affiliation with the International Society for Analytical Cytology , Current Protocols in Cytometry is a "best practices" collection that distills and organizes the absolute latest techniques from the top cytometry labs and specialists worldwide. It is the most complete set of peer-reviewed protocols for flow and image cytometry available.

Updated every three months in all formats, CPCY is constantly evolving to keep pace with the very latest discoveries and developments. A year of these quarterly updates is included in the initial CPCY purchase price. That's 470 pages of new (52%) and revised (48%) content on average every year since the initial publication of the work in October 1997! Presently two volumes in its loose-leaf print version, CPCY…

  • provides complete coverage of flow cytometry, with hundreds of basic to advanced techniques from instrumentation to interpretation; fluorescence to antigen density; research to clinical applications.
  • offers in-depth coverage of microscopy, including detailed discussion of objectives and expert guidelines on image interpretation, confocal microscopy, and illumination sources.
  • includes valuable data, plus descriptions of stock solutions, equipment, common techniques and more in three appendices.

Flow Lab users may consult this reference while planning experiments to be run in this core lab.

The availability of detailed consensus protocols should greatly aid our Core Lab users in the design of their experiments in flow cytometry.
