Die Durchflusszytometrie ist ein Messverfahren der Zellanalyse, welches in unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Medizin, Biologie und Fermentationstechnik genutzt wird. Dabei ist es möglich, jede einzelne Zelle einer Population zu erfassen und zu charakterisieren. Neben der Form und Struktur der Zellen lassen sich insbesondere durch spezifische Fluoreszenzmarker Aussagen über physiologische Eigenschaften von pro- und eukaryotischen Zellen treffen. Die Methode stellt in der Diagnostik und Prozessoptimierung ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel dar.
Zielgruppe:
Labormitarbeiter/innen, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/innen, technisches Personal und weitere Interessierte, die sich einen ersten Überblick über Grundlagen der Durchflusszytometrie, sowie deren potentielle Möglichkeiten und Anwendungsgebiete verschaffen wollen.
Zielsetzung:
Theoretische und praktische Einführung in die Grundlagen und Anwendungsgebiete der Durchflusszytometrie. Anhand von ausgewählten Beispielen mit Fokus auf der Getränkeindustrie werden die Teilnehmer an die Technologie herangeführt und Möglichkeiten der Zellcharakterisierung und Nutzung der ermittelten physiologischen Kenndaten für den Fermentationsprozess dargestellt.
In Kooperation mit Sysmex Deutschland GmbH.
