Poster Hall
Traditionally, life scientists have had only one primary forum to access and view poster presentations—scientific conferences. BioTechniques, the leading journal of life science methods, is proud to bring you the latest BioTechniques Poster Hall—an interactive electronic supplement that provides life scientists the opportunity to view posters at their leisure.
Poster Categories
Multilabel Detection
Mass Spectrometry
The Pressure Cycling Technology Sample Preparation System (“PCT SPS”) employs
rapid cycles of hydrostatic pressure, between ambient and ultra high levels,
to precisely control biomolecular interactions. The PCT SPS can be used to
accelerate enzymatic reactions, such as protein digestion with trypsin and
other proteolytic enzymes, to prepare samples for analysis by mass
spectrometry.
Epigenetics
Electroporation
Primary cells as well as certain cell-lines are known to be refractory to traditional chemical transfection methods. The physical technique of electroporation has emerged as a method of choice for nucleic acid delivery into these “hard to transfect” cells.
Cytotoxicity
Cell and Tissue Culture-Human Pathogen/Mycoplasma Testing
Human cell lines and tumors represent important tools in biomedical research and they are extensively used. The most common sources of human cell lines and tumors are specimens taken directly from patients and cultured specimens stored and distributed by repositories and cell banks.
Cell Analysis
Misidentification as well as inter- and intra-species cross contamination of cell lines is widespread and has a substantial negative impact on biomedical research. In this study, an approach used by RADIL for analyzing human and rodent cell lines for inter and intra--species contamination followed by authentication of cell line identity is described.

FluxOR™, a Universal Potassium Channel Assay Screening BacMam Delivered and Stably Expressed Targets
Potassium ion channels are important targets in drug discovery and safety testing for which current assays suffer expense, low throughput or lack of proximity to the target. A robust and homogenous assay that allows for functional HTS measurements of potassium channel activity would give the screening community a useful tool for the interrogation of potassium channels in compound library screening.
Multiplex Analysis (Bead-based)
Abstract: Assay Designs has launched a multiplex bead immunoassay platform (MultiBead™) which incorporates flow cytometry as the assay readout. The immunoassays are carried out on the surface of fluorophore labeled polystyrene beads.
