Cost: FREE


This course is free to all ISAC members.  Due to the important health implications of the information in the course, ISAC is also providing it free-of-charge to nonmembers until January 1, 2015.

And, learn more about Flow Cytometry Biosafety in the latest issue of Cytometry Part A!

The launch of the first CYTO U course Flow Cytometry Biosafety course coincides with the publication of ISAC's Cell Sorter Biosafety Standards in the May 2014 issue of Cytometry A emphasizing both the importance of this topic to our community and how ISAC provides the premier cytometry educational environment to its members and all cytometry users.
