SUMMARY:Redefining the Limits of Handheld Raman Spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW\nRecent advances in handheld Raman spectroscopy enable both higher sensitivity qualitative analysis and quantification of finished products. New methods remove the requirement for wet-chemical methods that require significant time and resources to use\, such as liquid chromatography. Applications such as counterfeit identification and quantification are now possible with a handheld instrument which can be conveniently used outside the laboratory. \nWith Raman spectroscopy it is possible to differentiate between authentic\, counterfeit\, and reverse-engineered pharmaceuticals and quantify solid dosage forms. In this informational webinar\, Dr. Stephen W. Hoag of the University of Maryland School of Pharmaceutical Sciences\, will discuss examples of where these new techniques have been applied. \nThere will be time at the end of the webinar for a Q&A session with the presenter and Dr. Adam J. Hopkins\, Spectroscopy Product Manager at Metrohm USA to address your questions and discuss how method-driven Raman can streamline quality control measurements. \n  \nSPEAKERS\nStephen W.

SUMMARY:Automation Friendly Ambient Storage for Biobanking Whole Blood Samples
DESCRIPTION:HLA Sample Archiving Using Dried Blood Spot Technology \nTuesday\, January 21\, 2:00pm ET \n60-Minute Webinar with Q&A \n  \nAutomation of sample collection for biobanking is desirable due to large numbers of samples. The need for secure and easy access to individual samples makes manual operation nearly impossible. Biobanks are often tasked with the maintenance of many samples while not necessarily equipped with expensive fully automated systems to support the workload. GenPlates™ from GenTegra offer an affordable and unique format for storing raw liquid biological samples on paper in the form of a dried blood spot (DBS). Each sample aliquot is contained in a single compartment of a half-height microplate with a unique human readable barcode. Manual or automated systems allow for accurate sample tracking. GenTegra GenPlates\, as with all DBS samples\, require humidity-controlled storage to ensure long-term stability. \nJoin Shanavaz Nasarababi\, President & Director of R&D at GenTegra\, and Patty Weingard\, MT(ASCP)\, CHT(ABHI)\, HLA Supervisor at Emory University Hospital Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Lab\, for a discussion about the advantages and requirements for automated DBS storage\, along with an example of real-world use in an HLA laboratory. \nA secure archive of each transplant patient and the transplant organ is a vital role of every HLA laboratory. The Emory University Hospital Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Lab chose GenTegra’s GenPlates as their storage medium. Each GenPlate stores up to 24 patient samples with up to 6 individual samples per patient ensuring redundancy and decades of risk-free storage. Sample recovery\, when required\, is facilitated by the barcode on each GenPlate making sample tracking possible with any LIMS or simple sample tracking software. The use of GenTegra’s Personal Archive™ storage cabinets also provide barcode identification for each plates’ storage location. \n\nSpeakers\n \nJoin Shanavaz Nasarababi\, President & Director of R&D at GenTegra \n  \n \nPatty Weingard\, MT(ASCP)\, CHT(ABHI)\, HLA Supervisor at Emory University Hospital Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Lab \n  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Webinar: QIAGEN’s new dPCR portfolio – overcoming the current throughput\, speed and usability bottlenecks in digital PCR
DESCRIPTION:Digital PCR (dPCR) is a highly viable solution for copy number variation (CNV) detection\, rare mutation detection and quantification\, validation of NGS results\, and applications alike. It offers significant advantages over quantitative PCR (qPCR) with regards to precision\, reproducibility\, and sensitivity\, coupled with the ability to obtain absolute quantitative results without the need for standard curves. That is why\, over the last years\, many researchers have come to use dPCR\, resulting in over 4500 publications until the previous year. \nHowever\, currently available solutions are either very complex to operate\, or lack a scalability option for users with variable throughput and flexible workflow needs. Unlike current systems relying on droplet generation\, QIAGEN’s offering of fully integrated walkaway instrument options and multiple plate configurations with increased partitions can potentially solve throughput\, speed\, and usability challenges. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll discuss: \n\nWhat improvements does QIAGEN’s dPCR solution offer over existing systems\nFirst insights into our entire dPCR product portfolio\nThe menu of dPCR assays and their availability roadmap\n\nSpeakers:\nDr. Gerald Schock\, Associate Director digital PCR instrumentsQIAGEN GmbH \nDr. Michael Bussmann\, Associate Director digital PCR assays\, QIAGEN GmbH

SUMMARY:Webinar: Looking under the Hood and Getting Started with the Optima AUC
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\nDATE: Tuesday\, October 1\, 2019 \nTIME:  11AM-12PM\, EST \nIn the previous webinar\, Introduction to Characterization of Biomolecules Using Analytical Ultracentrifugation\, we discussed the fundamentals of analytical ultracentrifugation and looked at a few sample applications. In this webinar\, we explore the operational aspects of this biophysical technique. We will start off with an overview of the technology behind AUC\, taking a close look at the two types of detection apparatus offered on the current generation Optima AUC: absorbance and interference. We also look at the improvements offered by the Optima AUC over the previous generation ProteomeLab. Then\, we go through some of the steps involved in choosing suitable parameters when planning an experiment on a new sample – including the use of simulation tools available in analysis software packages. We also look at the effect of rotor speed on simulated scan data for two antibody fragments. We learn how to identify incomplete sedimentation\, lack of separation between two analytes\, and the tradeoffs between rotor speed\, number of scans\, and experiment duration. We then study improvements in data resolution with increasing rotor speed using simulated data for a typical gene therapy analyte. Finally\, we move to instrument control and look at the steps involved in setting up a new experiment\, viewing live scans\, and transferring data after experiment completion. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn the technical advancements of the Optima AUC and the difference between absorbance and interference mode detection.\nLearn how to design a new experiment in the Optima AUC.\nLearn how to transfer data after an experiment.\nLearn how to use available simulation tools to model scans for a two-analyte system.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya\, PhD\n\nSenior Application Engineer\, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences\n\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya graduated from Presidency College\, India with a major in Physics and went on to a Masters’ in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science where he worked on Quantum Computing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Real-Time Analysis of Cellular Phagocytosis; Characterization of Anti-CD47 Antibodies as Potential Novel Immuno-Therapies
DESCRIPTION:August 15\, 2019 at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST / 5pm CEST\nAlongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors\, CAR-T\, T-cell metabolism)\, researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell types for novel targets. One example is the enhancement of macrophage function via inhibitors of CD47 “don’t-eat-me” signaling proteins\, enabling tumor cells to evade clearance by neighbouring phagocytes (Kim et al\, 2012\, Leukemia 26\, 2538–2545). In order to identify new CD47 and phagocyte modulators\, novel\, direct and validated assays with throughput commensurate to drug discovery are required. Watch this webinar to learn how: \n\nReal-time live-cell analysis using pH-sensitive fluorescent probe-labeled target cells can be used to visualize and quantify phagocytosis.\nYou can share data on the pro-phagocytic effects of anti-CD47 antibodies.\nOther live-cell phenotypic assays (e.g. apoptosis\, proliferation) are used to validate mechanisms of action.\n\nCertificate of attendance All webinar participants can download a certificate of attendance\, with a learning outcomes summary document for continuing education purposes. \n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Tim Dale\nHead of BioAnalytics Applications Sartorius Corporation Sartorius\n\n\nTim co-founded the European laboratories of Essen BioScience in 2009 and is Head of BioAnalytics Applications\, Sartorius Corporation\, managing R&D operations.  A highly experienced industrial pharmacologist and leader with more than 20 years of service\, Tim has a track record in applied drug discovery.  Applying his knowledge and expertise to drug discovery programs in the neurology\, psychiatry and gastrointestinal therapeutic areas\, he has contributed to the progression of a number of candidate molecules into clinical studies.  Tim has co-authored over 20 publications and patents relating to pharmacology\, ion channels and cell-based assays.  Most recently\, Tim is applying his many years of experience to extend the portfolio of cell-based applications utilising live-cell analysis in the fields of oncology\, immunology and neuroscience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Lois Manton-O’Byrne\nEditor SelectScience\n\n\n\nDr Lois Manton-O’Byrne is the Editor of SelectScience.

SUMMARY:Webinar: An Introduction to characterization of biomolecules using analytical ultracentrifugation
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\n\n\nDATE: June 18\, 2019\nTIME: 8:00am PDT\n\nAnalytical Ultracentrifugation (AUC) is one of the most powerful biophysical tools used today for the characterization of biological samples ranging from small drug molecules to intact viruses\, vesicles and microparticles. AUC works with biological samples in the native state and does not depend on a reporter species or custom-coated substrates which are required by techniques such as NMR\, EPR\, SPR and fluorescence spectroscopy. AUC separates biomolecules based upon both molecular mass and anisotropy\, unlike Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)\, which separates molecules based only on their hydrodynamic volume. Furthermore\, AUC is not just useful for characterizing the oligomerization/aggregation state of biological samples\, but also to quantify interactions between different species.\nIn this talk\, we will start with the principles of analytical ultracentrifugation and take a tour through the technology behind modern AUC\, including UV/Vis absorbance mode and interference mode signal detection\, and look at experiment design and setup. Following\, we will address the different types of AUC experiments (equilibrium and velocity)\, compare and contrast their merits with sample data\, and touch upon the principles of data processing (to be covered in-depth in a subsequent webinar). Finally\, we will explore a variety of applications with a focus on the unique advantages that AUC brings to the study of various biotherapeutics\, polymers\, nanoparticles\, and others – and how AUC compares to and complements other analytical techniques.\nLearning Objectives:\n\n\nBecome familiar with the principles of analytical ultracentrifugation\, the technology behind modern AUC.\n\n\nLearn the fundamentals of how to design and setup experiments.\n\n\nLearn about the different types of AUC experiments (equilibrium and velocity)\, compare and contrast their merits.\n\n\nLearn the basic principles behind AUC data analysis.\n\n\nDiscover the unique advantages that AUC brings to the study of various biotherapeutics\, polymers\, nanoparticles\, etc.\n\n\n\nLabRoots is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. ® Program. By attending this webinar\, you can earn 1 Continuing Education credit once you have viewed the webinar in its entirety.\n\n\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya\, PhD\n\nSenior Application Engineer\, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences\n\n\n\nAkash Bhattacharya graduated from Presidency College\, India with a major in Physics and went on to a Masters’ in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science where he worked on Quantum Computing. He then moved for doctoral studies in Biophysics to the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor where he joined the lab of Prof. Erik Zuiderweg and worked on NMR spectroscopy methods development in the context of the Structural Biology of Chaperone Proteins. After Michigan\, he worked briefly at Rutgers and then eventually moved to the Dept. of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at the University of Texas Health at San Antonio. Here\, he worked with Prof. Dmitri Ivanov and Prof. Borries Demeler on the enzymology of HIV infection and restriction by mammalian proteins. He also worked on projects related to oncology (DNA damage repair) and neuroscience (voltage gated ion channels)\, using a wide variety of techniques ranging from X-ray crystallography\, NMR spectroscopy\, fluorescence spectroscopy\, molecular dynamics and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). He collaborated with Prof. Demeler to extend AUC methods to novel enzymatic systems resulting in publications in PNAS\, Cell Reports\, Nature Scientific Reports\, etc. Akash joined Beckman Coulter Life Sciences in Oct 2018. He is based in the Colorado R&D center and works on developing new AUC applications. His research interests include extending AUC methodology to new therapeutic areas such as AAV capsids (gene therapy)\, liposomal drug carriers and others.\n\n\n\nRoss VerHeul\n\nSenior Applications Scientist – Beckman Coulter\n\n\n\nRoss holds formal training spanning biology to synthetic organic chemistry and wide-ranging expertise in microfluidic applications paired with the production\, purification\, and characterization of a multitude of biomaterials for use in vitro and in vivo.

Vickers\, Product Development Chemist\, Agilent Technologies Inc.\n\n\n\nDuration:\n1 hour\n\n\nDescription:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLOT (Porous Layer Open Tubular) columns are intended for the separation of compounds with very high vapor pressure (e.g.\, permanent gases and light hydrocarbons) without the need for cryogenic or sub-ambient cooling of the oven. PLOT column stationary phases are physically different than those of polysiloxanes and polyethylene glycols. PLOT stationary phases are porous particles that are attached to the inner wall of the capillary tubing using a binder or similar means. Compounds are separated based on their adsorption properties and other gas-solid surface interactions with the stationary phase.Agilent offers the most comprehensive line of PLOT columns for analysis of fixed gases\, low molecular weight hydrocarbon isomers\, volatile polar compounds\, and reactive analytes such as sulfur gases\, amines\, and hydrides. In this presentation we will cover the modes of separation involved with PLOT columns and demonstrate a wide array of separations including permanent gases\, branched and olefinic hydrocarbons\, and sulfur compounds among others. \nPresenter Information: Allen K.

SUMMARY:IncuCyte: Longitudinal Characterization of Human Stem Cell-Derived Neurons Using Calcium Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Webinar abstract \nThe ability to measure neuronal activity and network activity in a longitudinal manner is paramount to the study of neurological disease Due to the synaptic plasticity of neuronal cell cultures\, identifying dynamic changes between normal and mutated models is critical for understanding changes in network connectivity. To evaluate activity differences between normal and diseased states\, we used mutant and control human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate neuronal cultures by forcing expression of Neurogenin-2. Using the IncuCyte® S3 live-cell analysis system\, we measured neuronal activity over the course of several weeks for functional analysis of differences in activity and connectivity. We found that iPSC-derived neurons had increased activity over time and formed synchronous neuronal networks around 3 weeks of differentiation. Data generated showed a reproducible\, relevant phenotypic readout for long-term network changes in this epileptic cell model. \nWATCH ON DEMAND \nLearn how to: \n\nDifferentiate iPSCs into neurons using forced Neurogenin-2 expression\nAcquire and analyze calcium imaging data over time\, using the IncuCyte® S3 live-cell analysis system\nThe importance of long-term analysis of neuronal activity to evaluate differences in activity and connectivity for iPSC derived neurons\n\nPresenter: Louis Dang\, MD/PhD\, Clinical Lecturer\, University of Michigan \nLouis Dang is a pediatric epileptologist and neuroscientist at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on how genetic mutations cause early-life epilepsies. Using patient-derived and gene-edited stem cells\, he generates 2D and 3D cultures to determine the molecular pathogenesis of epilepsy\, opening new avenues for targeted therapies.

SUMMARY:Improving RNA research results with LNA technology
DESCRIPTION:How does locked nucleic acid (LNA) technology affect RNA results? \nLNA (locked nucleic acid) oligos bind with much higher affinity and specificity to RNA targets than standard DNA and RNA oligos. This enables specific and sensitive detection of small RNAs and discrimination between highly similar sequences. This webinar will present the unique features and benefits of LNA and discuss how your microRNA qPCR experiments and your functional analyses of RNA will profit. \nLNA substitutions increase oligo melting temperature\, enabling Tm adjustment and normalization. This makes LNA optimal for designing short\, high-affinity PCR primers and antisense oligonucleotides. LNA also allows detection of rare RNAs\, even when limited to less sample material or complex samples with low RNA content. As LNA also increases the Tm difference between perfectly matched and mismatched targets\, even closely related sequences can be accurately discriminated in qPCR profiling and silencing. \nDue to their short length\, high-affinity LNA antisense oligonucleotides are taken up naturally by cells. Highly potent once inside cells and resistant to enzymatic degradation\, LNA antisense oligos effectively silence RNA in a broad range of animal tissues – making them the tool of choice for revealing RNA functions and evaluating their therapeutic potential. \nQIAGEN has merged our cutting edge technologies with Exiqon’s twenty years of experience in LNA oligo design to enhance qPCR technology\, in situ hybridization\, functional analysis of RNA in cells and animals\, miRNA and RNA sequencing and much more! Join this webinar and learn how to take your RNA research to the next level! \nREGISTER HERE \n• Live Webinar: Take your RNA research to the next level with LNA technology\n• Speaker: Roman Kurek\, Ph.D.\, Senior Customer Solutions Manager\, Genomics\, QIAGEN\n• Date and Time: October 31\, 2018 at 9:00 am EDT and 2:00 pm CET
