Merck Millipore, the Life Science division of Merck, has announced the first Lab Water Virtual Conference on June 4 & 5, 2013.

The conference theme, “The Lab of Tomorrow, Bringing the Future to Life Today” will bring industry experts from around the world to discuss the drivers for change and the future of the laboratory, the evolving need for more advanced automation and innovation, as well as worldwide trends and insights into the life sciences industry.

The virtual conference will start at 9:00 am with a live opening plenary and will feature live conferences and discussion forums throughout the day until 5:30 pm (EST in North America / CEST in CEMEA).

June 4 in North America (EST)
June 5 in CEMEA (CEST)

TIME:
9:00AM - 6:00PM

The conference will start with a live keynote address entitled, “Drivers for Change and the Future of the Lab” featuring global industry leader and guest speaker, Tim Studt, Editorial Director for Advantage Business Media (ABM), Science Group. Tim's career spans over 25 years with ABM where he has collected and analyzed data, trends and insights in the life sciences industry.

This will be followed by a live webinar and discussion forum on "Towards the Lab of the Future" with guest speaker, Dr. Ian Watkins, Director Strategic Planning - Strategic & Market Insights for Lab Solutions, EMD Millipore. After this brief presentation, Ian will hold an open chat group to obtain your thoughts and input about the lab of the future in the virtual Networking Lounge.

The conference will also feature industry leaders and guest speakers from world-renowned University laboratories who will help to introduce new data. Live webinars followed by Q & A sessions will include such topics as:

"Bacterial Contamination in Clinical Analyzers" featuring guest speakers: Barbara Bodner, Manager Microbiology, Molecular Pathology and HLA, Loyola University Health Systems and Dr. Stéphane Mabic, Worldwide Trainer, Merck Millipore.

"How Ultrapure Water Minimizes Risk of Contamination in ICP-MS and LC-MS/MS Analyses" featuring guest speakers Dr. Yinfa Ma, Curator's Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry, Missouri University of Science and Technology and Dr. Maricar Tarun-Dube.

The Lab Water Virtual Conference will also include the Lab Water Exhibit Hall featuring live Application Specialists who will be available to discuss your application needs in the laboratory and answer any questions you might have. They will provide the latest information on the science and life industry with published articles, abstracts and posters.

And, finally, if that is not enough – the virtual conference will also host a Sponsor Hall featuring publishers and industry experts from some of the leading life and science publications including SelectScience. Click here for more information.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment 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.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.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.MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. 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. Find the best microbiology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples. Find the best automated liquid handlers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Water PurificationThere are a number of water purification methods available to remove contamination from laboratory water. These systems include demineralization, reverse osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration. A combination of methods is sometimes necessary to achieve purified water suitable for use in experiments.Ultrapure WaterUltrapure water is the highest purity water and contains the lowest levels of organic and inorganic contaminants, particulates and microorganisms.Pure WaterPure water is processed to remove significant level of contaminants and is suitable for use in many laboratory applications.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Training
