This Advanced Course (VTK) offers participants insight into four technologies broadly used in life science research: electron and light microscopy, flow cytometry, and next-generation sequencing.

The course aims to give students basic theoretical background and first hands-on experiences in all four technologies, make them aware of their applications, and introduce them to the working environment of research infrastructures.

- For all non-participants: In this time of the VTK, the FlowKon Facility is opened as usually. The flow cytometers can be used as usually, and sorting sessions are also still possible. Please note that requests for sorting sessions or project discussions must be made early in advance. This also applies for booking the instruments via PPMS. -
