Overview

Learn how to perform the Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Colony-Forming Unit (CFU) Assay through live-streamed training delivered by experts from STEMCELL Technologies. The three-day, part-time course consists of interactive lectures and laboratory demonstrations designed to teach you essential techniques, from setting up the CFU assay to identifying and counting human hematopoietic CFUs accurately.

Learning Outcomes
• Understand the normal hematopoiesis and cellular functions.
• Describe the assay for evaluating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
• Identify morphological characteristics of human colony forming units.
• Discern the pros and cons of phenotypic and functional assays for evaluating hematopoietic cells.
• Understand and apply the best practical skills in setting up a CFU assay and enumerating CFU colonies.
• Be aware of how sample handling can impact hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell functions.

As part of the course, you will receive:
• An electronic copy of the course book
• Certificates of course completion from STEMCELL Technologies and Continuing Professional Development (CPD), UK
• Post-training support from the trainers and STEMCELL’s Scientific Support team

Space is limited, please register early for the best chance of securing a seat for your desired date. Registration closes one week before the course date.
