Certificate of attendance
Join Avantor® and Beckman Coulter Life Sciences for a session led by two experts from the University of York, who have been working with the new mosaic spectral detection module on their CytoFLEX LX for more than six months. Drawing on a decade of experience with the CytoFLEX platform, they will share practical insights from a multi-user core facility and discuss the range of sample types and applications they routinely support.
The speakers will explore both common and more specialized workflows, from blood and monocultured cells to microorganisms and plant materials, and offer observations on the performance of different fluorescent probes, including antibody stains, fluorescent proteins and DNA dyes.

Presented by:
Professor Peter O'Toole
Peter is Professor of Practice and the Director of the Bioscience Technology Facility at the University of York, which supports the broad range of technologies required for a multidisciplinary Department of Biology. He has also built and now heads the highly successful Imaging and Cytometry Labs, which include an array of flow cytometers, confocal and electron microscopes, and novel instrumentation.
Peter gained his PhD in the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at Essex and has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging and cytometry. His current research focuses on both technology and method development for novel probes and imaging and cytometry modalities. His lab provides research support to many academics and commercial organizations, and he maintains ongoing collaborations and consultancy contracts with numerous leading microscopy and cytometry companies.
Dr. Karen Hogg
Karen Hogg is an Experimental Officer in Imaging and Cytometry at the University of York, Bioscience Technology Facility. Karen drives the scientific service within the Imaging and Cytometry Laboratory and takes a lead role in the research, operation and method development of cell sorting and analysis. Her expertise supports a wide range of diverse applications both within and external to the Department of Biology. Karen is also a co-organizer and tutor on multiple flow cytometry courses. She obtained her PhD from the School of Biology, University of Leeds, U.K. 1999 and worked in a parasite immunology research group for four years before taking up her current role.
