Flow cytometry
FACS
course
sorting
MoFlo

Cytometry Tools:

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) and Flow Cytometric Sorting (FCS aka FACS)

Isolate cells of interest from liquid and solid samples:

natural waters and sediments, soils, plant and animal tissues.

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM)

Find your target - Identify boundaries -
Excise and collect using LCM

Flow sorted cells:

if sorted purely cells look uniform.

Practical Environmental Cytometry - 2.5 credits

Sede Boqer Campus
Lecturers: Prof. Mike Zubkov, Dr. Nina Kamennaya

The course goal

Provide theoretical basis and practical training for cytometric separation of target cells from both solid and liquid samples; systematically analyze credible applications of cytometric techniques in the environmental research.

Audience
MSc and PhD students and outstanding BSc Seniors as well as industrial and academic specialists in environmental microbiology, ecology and biotechnology.
