On Demand Webinar
Flow Cytometry for Clinical Applications: Recommendations on Multi-site Assay Transfer and Method Validation
Recorded on July 12, 2022
(Duration: 50 Minutes)
Flow cytometry analysis can provide incredibly rich data sets, shedding light on biological events at single-cell resolution. However, with many aspects of the validation and monitoring of flow cytometric methods, prospective multicenter immune monitoring trials present several challenges.
Among those challenges are the standardization and sample testing reproducibility between different laboratories, particularly on customized flow assays.
In this webinar, we will address these challenges and discuss considerations and best practices for intra-laboratory flow cytometry assay transfer and recommendations on method validation for clinical applications.
Read below for more details, challenges addressed, and featured speakers.
Key points covered:
-
Advantages of sample testing reproducibility among different laboratories for a more successful transition to clinical settings
-
Considerations for choosing the right technologies used in cell-based assay development approaches: example of receptor occupancy (RO) measurement by flow cytometry
-
The process toward intra-laboratory assay transfer and overcoming the challenges of standardization/harmonization in flow cytometry
-
Points to consider in analytical procedures and method validation for clinical studies
