MACSQuant® Analyzer instrument training

This 4-day training course covers the basics of flow cytometry and operation of the MACSQuant® Analyzer. Consisting of theoretical presentations and practical lab sessions, participants will learn the basics of instrument setup, including calibration and compensation. 

Additional modules will include sample preparation and acquisition, data analysis with MACSQuantify™ Software, and basic maintenance and troubleshooting.  A special flow application, such as pre-enrichment of rare cells or analysis of whole blood without lysis will also be performed.

Our MACSQuant Analyzer instrument trainings are offered in our MACS Academy training centers in Germany, United Kingdom, and USA.
