BIOL 535 - Cell Analysis by Flow Cytometry

Description:
Acquire flow cytometry skills (fluorochrome selection, sample preparation, data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation). Design and conduct research projects requiring in-depth analysis of cell characteristics. Discuss flow cytometry applications in various scientific fields. BIOL 435 and BIOL 535 are layered courses; students may not receive credit for both.
