The Spectral Flow Cytometry Symposium 2025 is a two-day interactive event at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge, UK. Featuring international speakers and showcasing the latest advancements in spectral technologies, delegates will have the opportunity to attend talks from academic and industry experts, participate in hands-on workshops (wet and dry lab), and engage with technical specialists from leading flow cytometry companies. This year introduces a new range of practicals and workshops covering various spectral cytometers, with attendees able to select four sessions to tailor their experience.
There will also be networking sessions and exhibition from our sponsors.
