I just wanted to post to keep things consistent with our installation of the 7-laser inFlux at Garvan as I have just completed a weeks training with Brent from Cytopeia BD in Seattle and it has been nothing short of amazing and absolutely invaluable.
The week consisted of laser installation, alignment, optimisations, changes, modifications, new technology, advancements to current equipment, systems and so much more. I know feel closer with my instrument, ready to use it for everything it was designed for and have the confidence to take it to the levels of research that are yet to be defined. The inFlux truly is that instrument. In true Ger style, nothing is impossible.
It was an amazing week. We enjoyed lunch with Andrew at the cuban sandwich bar, a beautiful dinner with Brent, Ger and his wife Barb (thank you both so much). Day trips, home cooked meals, family, friends and science. What ever could be better! I have been blessed and truly spoiled by the wonderful hospitality, incredibly intelligent people I have met, all who are innovative, creative, wonderful and fun.
Thank you to all at Cytopeia. Thank you to BD for giving me this opportunity and most of all, thank you Brent for being a fantastic host, I am looking forward to hanging out down under when your next in town.
I hope these messages help users understand the outcomes of investing in BD in particular the inFlux technology, its an amazing time in research and when you are fortunate enough to purchase equipment like this you truly are getting so much more than just an instrument. My goal is to share these experiences with users in order to create interest, help the companies grow and together, expand and develop what I believe to be the future of scientific research in medical advancements for all humans and the greater good of flow cytometry and even science as a whole.
Best wishes,
Chris
