Dr. Andrew Quong and Dr. Roberto Spada, Fluidigm

The COVID-19 public health crisis affects everyone in our global community. Crucial questions about how SARS-CoV-2 affects our immune system and how to monitor the response to newly developed therapeutic interventions must be answered, and quickly.

In this upcoming webinar, Dr. Andrew Quong, Chief Science Officer at Fluidigm, will describe the important role that cytometry is playing in these efforts as well as how researchers are already using mass cytometry to monitor the immune response to a COVID-19 therapeutic approach. In addition, he will explain the Maxpar® Direct™ Immune Profiling System: a fast, reliable cytometric assay that includes an automated data analysis solution designed for use on CyTOF® systems.

Dr. Roberto Spada, Senior Market Development Manager, will share results of a multi-site study with the Maxpar® Direct™ Immune Profiling System that illustrates the inter-site and intra-site reproducibility of the assay. He will also present data showing that samples processed with the assay can be cryopreserved for up to four months without adverse impact on immune cell subset identification and enumeration.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters 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.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare immunoassay systems, read user reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.CytometryCytometry is a broad term for the quantitative analysis of cells and cell systems. The most popular methods to study cytometry are flow cytometry and image cytometry.Flow CytometryTherapeuticsTherapeutics are treatments designed to alleviate or cure diseases. These include pharmaceuticals, biologics, and gene therapies, which work by targeting specific disease mechanisms. Advances in personalized medicine and biologics offer new hope for patients with conditions that were previously difficult to treat. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find therapeutic solutions for various diseases; compare products, check user reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.CoronavirusCoronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like COVID-19. Research into the biology, transmission, and treatment of coronaviruses has become a global priority, particularly since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. Understanding the virus�s structure and behavior is essential for developing vaccines, diagnostics, and antiviral treatments.
