Understanding human disease progression at the cellular level often requires examination of tissue sections on slides. With its ability to generate and store images of microscope slides and thereby allow scientists to examine specific anatomical locations and landmarks quickly and efficiently, digital pathology has made tremendous inroads in both academic and clinical laboratory settings. In this special webinar, attendees will have a unique opportunity to learn more about: (i) digital pathology applications, (ii) instrumentation and technology (both in a low-throughput and high-throughput format), and (iii) analysis tools and data storage solutions. Be a part of this special web event, and learn more about how digital pathology is enabling students, research scientists, and clinical pathologists gain a more comprehensive understanding of anatomical pathology and human disease.
Attendees will:
- Learn about the implementation of digital pathology workflows in academic and clinical settings
- Hear about the latest approaches in digital pathology image analysis
- Find out about the challenges of data storage and security when establishing a digital pathology workflow
- Be able to ask questions to a panel of experts

Obtaining Multiparametric, Real-Time Measurements in Industrial Bioprocessing Using Automated Flow Cytometry
A Free Web Event
Monitoring biomass is crucial when optimizing growth conditions. Compared to traditional biomass monitoring methods, flow cytometry is rapid, accurate, and enables multiparametric analysis of heterogeneous populations with single-cell resolution. With development of automated cell sampling and preparation devices, flow cytometry can analyze biomass at regular intervals to precisely control and optimize cell cultures in bioreactors.
In this webinar, we will discuss how the development of an interface between bioreactors and flow cytometry analyzers makes possible automated, real-time bioprocess control. We will demonstrate how automated flow cytometry provides highly detailed data on the dynamics of cell populations, enabling an unprecedented degree of bioreactor monitoring resolution and control.
Finally, we will discuss how automated flow cytometry can be used to maintain a culture in a steady-state condition of low cell density, called a cytostat, in which the selection condition imposed on the culture is precisely defined by the feed medium. With growth conditions matched to an optimal isolation strategy, faster growing, robust mutants are easily detected. Continuous cultivation in cytostat mode offers a powerful method for the rapid development and evolution of desired strains.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How automated flow cytometry enables real-time multiparametric monitoring and control of cell cultures.
- How to use automated flow cytometry to optimize development and evolution of desired strains.

Workshop on Recent Advances and Applications of Laser Capture Microdissection
A Free Web Event
Available on Demand Now
Since its introduction in 1996, laser capture microdissection (LCM) has emerged as an important technique for isolation of specific subsets of cells from complex tissues or other biological samples. Cellular material isolated by LCM is often used in downstream applications including PCR, microarray analysis, and sequencing. Several recent advances in LCM approaches have enhanced and expanded the range of these applications even further. In this web-based workshop, an overview of LCM will be provided along with descriptions and discussions of several recent LCM technology advances.
Attendees will:
- Learn about the development and evolution of LCM approaches, including common applications and troubleshooting tips
- Gain valuable insights into new developments in LCM technology, including the development of expression microdissection techniques
- Engage in a discussion/question and answer session with a panel of LCM experts

Coupling Flow Cytometry With an Expanded Palette of Fluorescent Proteins to Enhance Gene Expression Analysis
Free Web Event
Advances in flow cytometry and a full spectrum of fluorescent proteins now available allow biomedical researchers to more quickly, easily and affordably leverage this technology in gene expression analysis. Fluorescent proteins have come a long way since the original application of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) for the detection of gene expression. Fluorescent proteins now span the entire spectrum from short violet to long red, and can be used to study a wide variety of cellular phenomena. Personal flow cytometry simplifies the detection of fluorescently tagged genes incorporated into cells.
In the first segment of this webinar, we’ll review how fluorescent proteins and flow cytometry are utilized in gene expression analysis. The second portion will discuss strategies for the analysis of gene expression in angiosperms including a unique method for preparation of plant nuclei suspensions, the combination of natural or transgenic expression of fluorescence to identify specific cell types, and selective purification using cell sorting for subsequent gene expression analysis. The third portion will discuss how bacterial strains expressing fluorescent protein fusion constructs can be used to characterize the environment – gene regulation relationship and to quantify populations according to the resulting gene expression.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How flow cytometry techniques and a full spectrum of fluorescent proteins enable more efficient gene expression analysis.
- How the application of a gene expression workflow involving upstream flow cytometry for targeting, subsequent sorting for purification and downstream molecular analysis can speed gene expression analysis for different types of cells, including plant, bacterial and mammalian.
- How the BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer can be easily integrated into the laboratory for fast analysis, even for those with little flow cytometry experience
