OLIGOS: Bioanalytical method development for oligonucleotides: Overcoming the analytical challenges
Mary Trudeau, principal applications scientist at Waters Corporation, will outline the key challenges in method development for oligonucleotides and solutions to address them. Trudeau will illustrate these challenges and solutions through several examples, including various oligodeoxythymidines and the antisense oligonucleotide therapy, GEM91, and place particular emphasis on how to achieve maximum resource utilization and improve selectivity and sensitivity in oligonucleotide bioanalysis using LC-MS/MS.
Monday, May 10, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
3D CELL CULTURE: Multimodal analysis of anticancer drug testing in tumor-specific 3D cell culture models
Dr. Julia Kirshner, Founder and CEO of zPREDICTA, will discuss the advantages of using 3D culture models over the traditional methods, with particular emphasis on the importance of tumor microenvironment and tissue-relevant extracellular matrix (ECM) in obtaining accurate drug response data.

MICROBIOLOGY: Microbial air monitoring: Insight into the EU GMP Annex 1 revision
Join Dr. Eric C. Arakel, global product manager for sterility testing and air monitoring at Sartorius, to find out more about environmental monitoring programs and how the Annex 1 revision could impact you. Arakel will also present solutions for continuous, intervention-free active air monitoring for a tested period of eight hours - the period of a typical manufacturing shift.
Wednesday, May 12, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
MASS SPECTROMETRY: Large molecules get SLIM: High-Resolution Ion Mobility for simplifying complex large molecule characterization
Dr. Jim Arndt, from MOBILion, and Dr. Jeffrey Agar, Associate Professor at Barnett Institute Northeastern University, will discuss the benefits of HRIM-MS for enhancing structural characterization of large-molecule therapeutics, while increasing throughput and reducing reliance on LC-based methods.
Friday, May 14, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
BIOLOGICAL SAFETY: Form follows function: Working with, not against, your biosafety cabinet
This webinar first explains the basic functioning of a Class II, Type A2 biosafety cabinet and how it provides protection. The presentation then proceeds to explain how, in light of that knowledge, a cabinet operator should work in the cabinet so as not to interfere with the airflow and other features that provide biocontainment for that operator.
Monday, May 17, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 8:00 PDT
FRAGRANCE PROFILING: Evaluating the authenticity of brand perfumes using GC×GC–TOF MS
Dr. Laura McGregor, from SepSolve Analytical, will show how the comprehensive data acquired using GC×GC–TOF MS, coupled with easy-to-use chemometrics software, can deliver fast and confident fragrance profiling.
Tuesday, May 18, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION: Use of RNAscope technology to study reproductive health and dysfunction in the rodent central nervous system
Dr. Lique Coolen and Dr. Aleisha Moore, from Kent State University, will discuss how they have integrated powerful RNAscope in situ hybridization technology in their research to study the mechanisms underlying spinal cord injury and neuroendocrine dysfunction.
Tuesday, May 18, at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
CLOUD-BASED TECHNOLOGY: The benefits of adopting cloud-based solutions
James Pena, Thermo Fisher Scientific, will discuss: how the adoption of cloud-based solutions is influencing the industry; the major benefits of a cloud infrastructure; strategies for customer or vendor-managed cloud deployments; processes and strategies to move existing infrastructure to the cloud; and real-world cloud deployment examples.
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 | 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
PCR: A serotype-specific PCR method for detecting Salmonella spp. in poultry
Dr. Frieda Jørgensen outlines the current investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis, sharing how RapidFinder PCR enables rapid detection of contaminated products. Jørgensen highlights how this method can be applied to primary and secondary enrichments and the confirmation of isolates and was especially important in analyzing products that were co-contaminated with other serovars where the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis was realized only as a result of the PCR.
Thursday, May 20, at 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST / 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT
MASS SPECTROMETRY: Meet regulatory compliance for biopharma with new mass spec software solutions
Join Robert Ley, MassHunter Compliance Software Product Manager at Agilent Technologies, as he explores the current regulatory landscape and how new mass spectrometry software updates can enable you to address data integrity and meet regulatory requirements, such as US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11
