Unravelling The Complexity Of Tumor Microenvironment With High-Dimensional IHC Analysis Platform

27th August 2021, 4pm – 5pm SGT

A comprehensive understanding of the tumor microenvironment, including stromal composition, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, abnormal physiology, as well as cellular characteristics of heterogenous tumors is the key to elucidating cancer complexities. Understanding the cellular, molecular, and biochemical interactions of tumors within their microenvironment is essential to improving cancer diagnosis and treatment.

With multiplexing IHC (mlHC) technologies and high-content pathological analysis platform, scientists can simultaneously detect multiple markers on a single tissue section and the comprehensive study of cell composition, cellular functional and cell-cell interactions. mlHC provides high-throughput multiplex staining and standardized quantitative analysis for highly reproducible, efficient and cost-effective tissue studies. This technique has immediate potential for translational research and clinical practice, particularly in the era of tumor microenvironment study and cancer immunotherapy.

A New Platform Technology for Multiplexed Protein Analysis

13th Nov 2020 (Friday), 3pm – 4pm (SGT)

Free Admission

 

Abstract

AYOXXA is an NUS spin-off Biotech company. It has developed a novel platform technology that builds on the simple idea to immobilize beads coated with different highly specific antibodies onto a solid-surface array. Detection signals are easily read and mapped by fluorescence microscopy. This setup translates to highly sensitive, precise and accurate multiplexed protein quantification from minute sample volumes as low as 3μl. Its growing portfolio of protein detection panels is supporting research scientists to gain new insights in basic and translational research fields like Ophthalmology, Immuno-Oncology and various others.

High Throughput & Automation on Nucleic Acid Purification

26th November 2020, 4pm SGT
Free Admission

Abstract

For more than 20 years MACHEREY-NAGEL develops & produces a large portfolio of purification technologies and formats to meet your everyday needs. During this time, we gained a lot of experience and created a large knowledge data base to resort to.

Kits for all applications are available for both manual and automated use on common laboratory robotic platforms. Automating nucleic acid purification can reduce errors and save plenty of manual, repetitive work. MN has extensive experience with many well-known automation platforms like Hamilton, epMotions, Tecan & KingFisher platforms.

In this webinar we would like to show you the advantages of silica-based and magnetic bead based extraction kits for certain automated applications and how you can automate your nucleic acid purification workflow.

Challenges of cfDNA, DNA, RNA Isolation from FFPE and Other Clinical Samples

19th November 2020, 4pm SGT
Free Admission

Abstract

Reliable clinical sample analysis plays an essential role in human healthcare or disease control & strongly depends on products of high performance & quality. Clinical sample isolation & subsequent processing is demanding on several levels. Probably the most challenging aspect of handling clinical samples is their sheer diversity: blood & various other body fluids, stool samples, & formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) microscopy slides, all fall under the category of clinical samples.

Furthermore, the nucleic acid of interest can originate from both humans as well as their various parasites including, but not limited to viruses, bacteria, & protozoans. With our expertise in DNA & RNA purification from a wide variety of samples as well as extensive experience in making clinical products, MACHEREY-NAGEL is the partner of choice for your clinical project.

Join Dr. Thomas Winkelmüller in this webinar, where you will learn more about the solutions that MN offers to isolate high quality nucleic acids from clinical samples, ensuring robust results with a high degree of reliability.
