Flow Cytometrists of the Flow Cytometry Centre, Tygerberg gets 99%

We would like to congratulate Ms Andrea Gutschmidt and Dr Nelita du Plessis who scored 99% in a recent international evaluation. For the EQAPOL Flow Cytometry External Proficiency 8C ICS (EP8) test, laboratories receives a kit containing all of the necessary components to perform an 8-color immuno-assay. The kit included three cryopreserved cell samples, which were pre-tested and laboratories were expected to repeat the tests on there own on their own instruments, and send the data back to the referees. Not only does this indicate that we have some of the best Flow Cytometrists available in the Flow Cytometry Centre, it also shows that the instruments are being kept in an immaculate state and that data produced here can put researchers in the global competitive arena of Science.  EQAPOL
