Symposium audience

Workshops

Thanks to the unique set up at the ÂÌñÉç, the Symposium is able to offer interactive workshops on a range of commercially available spectral cytometers.

A brand new selection of workshop sessions will be offered to delegates in 2025. Each delegate will be able to choose 4 workshops to attend over the two days.

This year the Symposium's workshops will include a range of practical and classroom based topics.

Lab-based practicals will be offered on the following instruments:

  • BD FACSDiscover S8 Spectral and Imaging Sorter
  • Cytek Aurora CS Spectral Sorter
  • Thermo Fisher Bigfoot Spectral Sorter
  • Sony ID7000 Spectral Analyser
  • Cytek Aurora Spectral Analyser
  • Thermo Fisher Attune Xenith Spectral Analyser
  • Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX mosaic Spectral Analyser
  • Agilent NovoCyte Opteon Spectral Analyser

Further details on the individual workshops that will be offered will be published shortly.

Workshops

Further Symposium Information

Tickets will provide delegates with full access to the Symposium for both days and a choice of four workshops (bookings for the focused Symposium's workshops will be offered to registered delegates at a later date).

Discounted tickets are available for academic staff, clinical centres, Facility Cores/Shared Resource Laboratories and Babraham Research Campus attendees.
