As the need to resolve more complex biological data increases, it is critical for scientists to remain up-to-date on the latest technologies, methodologies, and biological insights to help optimize their science. The BD Horizon™ NEXT Global Education Tour will empower scientists with the latest information on high-parameter spectral flow cytometry and new-to-world real-time imaging cell sorting technology. This program will demonstrate the critical steps required to optimize a 38-color human NK and T panel, prior to its use to assess the immune system diversity across healthy donors. Attendees will also be introduced to the cutting-edge technologies at the core of the first real-time fluorescent imaging spectral flow cytometer and cell sorter. We will demonstrate the unprecedented capability of isolating six subsets of cells identified by the 38-color spectral flow cytometry panel.
