CFU Assay Course-UK-Spring

Delivered by STEMCELL Technologies, this hands-on CFU Assay training course equips participants with the practical skills needed to perform colony-forming unit assays for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell characterization in vitro.

Over multiple days, attendees work through cell preparation, methylcellulose-based culture setup, incubation, and colony identification using standardized scoring criteria. The curriculum covers troubleshooting common issues, optimizing cell plating density, and interpreting colony morphology across erythroid, myeloid, and mixed lineages.

Researchers new to the technique or those seeking to standardize their workflow will benefit from the small-group format. The course is held in the United Kingdom during spring and includes course materials and reagents for the practical sessions. Each attendee receives a certificate of completion upon finishing the program.
