Cell sorting in a busy laboratory virtual event

Breakthroughs in single cell analysis have translated into paradigm shifts in biomedical and life science research. With these advances, cell sorting has emerged as a vital tool for delivering pure and viable target cells of desired phenotype, empowering scientists to probe cells with high resolution and precision. In order to meet the needs of new and experienced users, and support a wide range of applications, cell sorting technologies need to be automated for operational efficiency and be adaptable to reliably purify a variety of cell types.

In this virtual event, learn from a group of experts on how they have seamlessly incorporated the Sony MA900 cell sorter in different lab workflows for high-throughput and gentle sorting of complex cell populations to obtain highly pure and viable cells. They will discuss -

• The use of automated cell sorting for high-throughput isolation of candidate B cells and mining the antibody repertoire for discovery of therapeutic antibody
• The benefit of optimizing samples using cell sorting for achieving high quality data from single cell transcriptomics experiments
• The capabilities of microfluidics chip based MA900 Cell Sorter for sorting different cell types
