In this free webinar, Dr. Aaron Overland, Senior Application Scientist at IncuCyte by Sartorius, will give a presentation on quantitative live-cell analysis of human iPSC-derived neurons.

Registration for the online event on Tuesday, September 19, is now open – if you cannot attend on the day, you will receive a link so you can watch it later at a time that suits you.

A major limitation in studying human diseases affecting the nervous system is the ability to culture, monitor and analyze neuronal cells that accurately represent human phenotypes of these disorders. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons has provided a new approach aimed at modeling neurological diseases. Monitoring neuronal morphology and cell health in long-term culture is critical for the characterization and evaluation of these novel model systems. Traditional approaches rely on endpoint assays and imaging techniques that require immunochemical staining, which provide limited real-time kinetic information.

In this webinar, optimal culture conditions will be highlighted and the ability of the IncuCyte S3® approach for real-time, long-term quantitative analysis of iPSC-derived neuronal cell health will be demonstrated.

Register now for the live event on Tuesday, September 19, 2017 – 16:00 BST, 17:00 CEST, 11:00 EDT, 08:00 PDT - or receive the link to watch later at your leisure »

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.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.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.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.NeurobiologyNeurobiology studies the biology of the nervous system, including the structure and function of neurons, glial cells, and their interactions. It is a key field in understanding neurological disorders such as Alzheimer�s, Parkinson�s, and schizophrenia. Research in neurobiology is essential for developing therapies for these conditions. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best neurobiology research tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.NeuronsNeurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, involved in transmitting information. Understanding neuron function is critical in neurobiology, neuroscience, and neurodegenerative disease research. Explore neuron research tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.ImmunophenotypingWebinarCell CultureCell culture involves growing cells under controlled conditions, typically outside of their natural environment, to study cellular behavior, drug response, and disease models. Cell culture is crucial in biotechnology and biomedical research.
