3. In-Vivo Two-Photon Imaging of the Diseased Nervous System

In this webinar, Prof. Dr. Thomas Misgeld, Professor for Neuronal Cell Biology at TUM, and Dr. Kai Kuetemeyer, Product and Application Specialist at Olympus, discuss how high-sensitivity and resolution can be achieved with the use of in-vivo two-photon imaging. The requirements for in-vivo two-photon imaging in the spinal cord and the study of axon degeneration in relation to neurological diseases are also highlighted. Watch the webinar>>

4. Identification of Microorganisms using MALDI-TOF

The identification of microorganisms for quality control is highly important within production industry settings, such as pharmaceuticals. Identification needs to be accurate, quick and efficient. In this webinar, Jennifer Reyes explains how Genzyme Inc. implemented MALDI-TOF in a QC microbiology laboratory for the identification of microorganisms. A number of case studies presented demonstrate MALDI-TOF performance to be time and cost effective. Method tips for improved extraction of bacterial and fungal samples are also discussed.

5. Quantitative MicroRNA (miRNA) Expression Analysis in Tissues and Body Fluids: Whole Genome Profiling Using Small RNA Sequencing, Followed by qPCR Based Validation

With critical functions in biological processes and a role within disease biology, miRNAs are of significant interest to the life science field. In this webinar, Dr. Ariane De Ganck, Product Manager, Transcriptome Services at Biogazelle, discusses the combined approach of whole genome miRNA profiling using small RNA sequencing and targeted miRNA validation. Workflows and a number of case studies are presented. Watch the webinar>>

6. Non-Targeted and Targeted Analysis of Anionic Metabolites using Ion Chromatography and High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry

Metabolomics provides an insight into cellular processes and is increasingly being used to identify biomarkers in cancer research. The analysis of these small, polar metabolites can be challenging as many are isobaric and require separation before detection. In this webinar, Terri Christison and Dr. Junhua Wang, of Thermo Fisher Scientific, discuss how ion chromatography, coupled with high resolution accurate mass spectrometry (IC-HR/AM), provides superior chromatographic resolution and sensitivity to address the analytical challenges needed to differentiate isobaric metabolites.
