Abstract of Lecture
Flow cytometry has proven to be an indispensable tool in both clinical diagnosis and biomedical research, as it enables for objective and quantitative analysis of cells in heterogeneous cell populations. Areas of application in clinical diagnosis range from immunophenotyping over immune surveillance to Hematology and Oncology. Although today’s standard instruments are manufactured to analyse up to millions of cells within minutes and with the utmost precision, laboratory testing of patient samples can remain a complex procedure and should be closely monitored. Laboratory Quality management (QM) is paramount to prevent many issues, notably through the use of Quality Controls (QC) which will ensure both precision and accuracy of patient sample results.
