Think Like an Engineer - Early Detection and Troubleshooting of Cytometer Problems

Instrument performance characterization and monitoring can help you identify developing problems in time to address them proactively. Being able to provide this type of data can also help you get the appropriate vendor-provided service more rapidly when the repair exceeds in-house abilities or resources. We’ll discuss setting up performance monitoring plans in an SRL environment and how to use them to inform troubleshooting. Approaches covered will include, but are not limited to: initial performance characterization, manufacturer and supplemental QCs, and the utility of Levy-Jennings plots. This session is geared toward leaders and staff of new or growing SRLs but welcomes all cytometrists looking to discuss the topic.
