Scientific community of researchers with interest in cytometry is now
enriched by the possibility to use the just published by Wiley-Liss
Current Protocols in Cytometry.
On behalf of the community I would like to congratulate and thank
Paul Robinson for his long, and initially uphill strugle, to carry
out and complete this endeavor. The vision to make the book of
cytometry protocols and methods available to a wide audience of
researchers, which Paul had during the past decade, has finally
materialized. Thanks also are due to Gretchen Lawler for her hard
work to collect all the mansuscripts and help in their editing.
Dealing with the tardy authors (I was one of them) is not an easy
task. Susan King of Wiley-Liss also deserves our thanks for her help
and persistence to start and carry on this project.
I believe I am expressing the opinion of all the Editors, in wishing
that the wide community of researchers in the field of cytometry be
actively involved in editing the Protocols. The Protocols are being
updated every three months. Please send your critical comments about
already published protocols. Please also send your suggestions
regarding which methods should be presented in the forthcoming
updates and propose the authors. Because of multiplicity and
diversity of the methods being continously published it is impossible
for the Editors to be familiar with all topics and be totally
unbiased. High scientific level of Current Protocols, therefore, can
only be maintained with active participation of a large number of
reserchers willing to share their opinions, expertise and time.
Thanks, Paul and your crew, from all of us,
Zbigniew Darzynkiewicz
CD-ROM Vol 3 was produced by Monica M. Shively and other staff at the
Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories and distributed free of charge
as an educational service to the cytometry community.
