East Port Seminar - Bioluminescent Assays for Monitoring Viability, Inflammation, and Cellular Metabolism and Axion Biosystems Devices

Pro českou verzi KLIKNĚTE ZDE.

Join us as we explore bioluminescent assays based on firefly and NanoLuc luciferases, which you can utilize as an effective tool for monitoring various cellular processes due to their high sensitivity and very low background values.

You will learn:

  • How to easily measure viability and cytotoxicity when testing candidate drugs.
  • How to effectively measure inflammasome activation, which is involved in a range of chronic inflammatory diseases.
  • We will explore newly developed metabolic assays suitable for studying changes in metabolism in cancer cells and various metabolic disorders such as diabetes or liver diseases.
  • In the second part of the seminar, we will take a closer look at the latest instruments from Axion Biosystems. Join our seminar and explore the revolutionary use of Omni Live-cell Imager and Maestro Z Impedance instruments in cancer research, toxicology, and drug development! Discover how this smart combination of technologies allows for the creation of top-notch in vitro disease models and enables the monitoring of cellular processes in real-time without damaging samples.

For whom the seminar is intended?

The seminar is open to all interested parties regardless of their field of study and age and is also suitable for university students. Registration is required for participation. The seminar will be conducted in English.
