SRL Recognition Program Eligibility

One of ISAC’s primary goals is to aid and guide in the development of standards for the field of cytometry. These standards will benefit SRLs and their users by increasing the reproducibility, rigor and reliability of cytometric data. SRLs are uniquely positioned to ensure and facilitate the generation of reproducible quality data. Toward this objective, a Best Practices document for Flow Cytometry SRLs was published in Cytometry Part A in 2016. The document outlines certain standards in data management, laboratory safety, quality control and assurance, staffing, standard operating procedures, training and education, and operations. Using this document as a guide, the SRL Recognition Program was established to recognize those SRLs who have achieved a level of excellence in operations.

  • Better position to attract highly qualified personnel to both SRL and institution
  • Better positioned to initiate collaborations with industry
  • Potential to increase success in obtaining institutional support, external funding, and publication.
  • SRLs would be advertised at various ISAC venues, listed on the ISAC website, and will receive plaques to denote their success.

Fields marked with an * are required.
