Experience and Enlightenment from the Management of Flow Cytometry Platforms in American First-class Universities
By online interviews,official website searches,and books investigation of foreign outstanding flow cytometry platform,the equipment,team,policy regulations,experimental operation guidelines,charging standards,scientific research and technological development,etc.are analyzed and compared with domestic universities.It is found that,although all the flow cytometry platforms are equipped with high-performance flow cytometers and are specially operated by dedicated technician,the equipment of foreign first-class platforms is more advanced and complete.Users have a higher proportion of autonomous processing,platform managers participate in user research more deeply,and their own scientific research background is stronger.Besides,fee-for-service on foreign platforms are more standardized and flexible.In comparison,the sophisticated management,detailed technical guidance and stable technical team of foreign flow cytometry platforms are worth learning,and the characteristics of our country's classified layout,centralized management,and intensive service are also worth advocating.
