FSK3527 Flow Cytometry 3.0 credits

The course contains a series of lectures and seminars where subjects like immunology, flow cytometry theory, antibodies and conjugated fluorophores are discussed. Students are expected to take an active role in these discussions. A large part of the education will be compulsory practical sessions performed at the flow cytometry lab at Biofysics, Scilifelab. 

After completion of the course the student shall:

• Have good theoretical knowledge about fluorophores and flow cytometry
• Be able to design experiments for phenotypic characterization of cells by flow cytometry
• Be able to perform basic analysis of flow cytometry data
• Be able to design basic panels for multiple colors

• SEM1 - Seminars, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Examination is based on active participation in seminars, practical sessions and a written assignment.
