Laboratory practices in reporting flow cytometry phenotyping results for leukemia/lymphoma specimens: Results of a survey

flowType: Phenotyping Flow Cytometry Assays

2 Introduction This document demonstrates the functionality of the flowType package for phenotyping FCM assays. flowType uses a simple threshold, Kmeans, flowMeans or flowClust to partition every channel to a positive and a negative cell population. These partitions are then combined to generate a set of multi-dimensional phenotypes. For more details on how this package can be used in a complet...

International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) flow cytometry shared resource laboratory (SRL) best practices.

The purpose of this document is to define minimal standards for a flow cytometry shared resource laboratory (SRL) and provide guidance for best practices in several important areas. This effort is driven by the desire of International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) members in SRLs to define and maintain standards of excellence in flow cytometry, and act as a repository for key ...

A rich analytical environment for flow cytometry experimental results

Existing analysis tools for flow cytometry data offer specialised but limited functionality. This work presents advantages of combining the cytometer's data with sample-specific information. Data is loaded into a relational database, where the analyst can query based on sample characteristics such as species, gender, diet type or sample stain type.

Croatian survey on critical results reporting

INTRODUCTION Poor harmonization of critical results management is present in various laboratories and countries, including Croatia. We aimed to investigate procedures used in critical results reporting in Croatian medical biochemistry laboratories (MBLs). MATERIALS AND METHODS An anonymous questionnaire, consisting of 24 questions/statements, related to critical results reporting procedures, ...
