Upcoming SelectScience Webinars

SelectScience® hosts dozens of informative free webinars for scientists every month, featuring world-class speakers at the very forefront of their respective fields. In this regular feature, we highlight the events you won't want to miss over the next few weeks or so, as well as some of our top on-demand webinars.

This week, understand how connectivity is the key enabler to solve the current pain points in laboratory settings, discover how leaders can drive more efficient, cost-effective, and value-based healthcare, explore advanced spectroscopy applications that do the seemingly impossible, and learn how to simplify, speed-up, and standardize your proteomics sample preparation for LC-MS.

Solving the integration puzzle: Only an open ecosystem holds the key to unlock the potential of lab data

Solving the integration puzzle: Only an open ecosystem holds the key to unlock the potential of lab data

This webinar will focus on how connectivity is the key enabler to solve the current pain points in laboratory settings and to unlock the lab of the future. Tecan and Labforward will present a tangible example from the House of Life Sciences, where interconnected data is leveraged for real-time monitoring, actionable analytics and digital standard operating procedures (SOPs). This demonstration will depict how the shared philosophy of an open digital ecosystem can lead to the evolution of an environment rich in clean, actionable data for lab managers and lab users.

How leaders can drive more efficient, cost-effective, and value-based healthcare

How leaders can drive more efficient, cost-effective, and value-based healthcare

Healthcare is under immense pressure to deliver more value with fewer resources whilst providing more patient-centric care. The current ‘fee-for-service' model is no longer sustainable to support rising costs and demands. In this webinar, learn about the value-based healthcare (VBHC) delivery model and how it can lead to more efficient use of resources and improved patient care. Furthermore, discover why diagnostics labs are well-positioned to support the shift to VBHC and how to implement VBHC in healthcare systems.

Pushing the limits: Optical spectroscopy at the extremes

Pushing the limits: Optical spectroscopy at the extremes

In this final session of a four-part ‘Fundamentals of Spectroscopy’ course, having now covered the basics, we will look at several advanced applications that do the seemingly impossible, from counting individual photons to looking inside exploding plasmas. We will examine both the immense technical challenges involved, as well as the scientific value they provide. We will look at several recent high-profile publications and break down how they work – what novel things the results tell us about the world, what equipment was used and why, and what made the measurements so difficult and noteworthy.

Next generation solutions for proteomics sample preparation

Next generation solutions for proteomics sample preparation

Join this webinar to learn how to simplify, speed-up, and standardize your proteomics sample preparation for LC-MS. The PreOmics team will introduce the PreOmics easy-to-use iST technology. This fast 3-step workflow is designed to be a great support for both those new to proteomics and experts alike. The all-in-one iST kits are compatible with a variety of starting materials, including mammalian and plant samples, different types of tissue and cells, as well as various biological fluids in label-free and chemical labelling applications. The protocols promise an incredibly fast processing time (<2.5 hours) and are easily applicable without compromising sample quality or proteomic depth. Furthermore, iST can be fully automated to further increase standardization, reproducibility, and throughput.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available. Find the best Raman spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.ProteomicsProteomics refers to the analysis of proteins through a variety of different experiments in order to understand structure and functionality. Typical techniques include protein purification and mass spectrometry. SpectroscopySpectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the interaction of light with matter to study molecular properties, concentrations, and structural information. Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis, spectroscopy offers insights into molecular composition and helps identify unknown compounds.
