Cell Line Quality Control and Authentication – Are Your Cells What You Think They Are?
Many journals and grant bodies now stipulate Cell Line Authentication (CLA) as a pre-requisite for submission. In this webinar, we will discuss the importance of confirming the identity and sterility of cell lines, explaining when these checks should be carried out, to what standards and why it is so important to the world of research. The test methodology will also be discussed along with the qPCR and STR profiling technology involved.
Presenters:
Dr. Laura Sellars, Head of the Molecular and Microbiology Department, Perfectus Biomed
Nikki Peake, KAM, Genetic Identity, Promega UK

A Direct Route to Results: Simplifying Nucleic Acid Workflows with Direct Amplification
Direct nucleic acid amplification from a sample can simplify your workflow and speed your time to results. Join this webinar to learn about new methods and reagents to remove time-consuming nucleic acid extraction steps to prepare your sample for PCR or qPCR amplification and analysis. This simple, fast sample preparation method is cost-effective and can be applied across a variety of sample types such as viruses, FFPE, saliva, blood and plants. Tips and tricks to get the most out of direct amplification approaches will also be discussed.

Antibody-Dependent, Cell-Mediated Killing: HSV and SARS-CoV-2
Vaccine development efforts primarily focus on the generation of neutralizing antibodies that block viral entry, as illustrated by the success of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. However, this strategy has yielded disappointing results for herpes simplex virus (HSV). This webinar will discuss the role of antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) in HSV vaccine development. The webinar will include a live Q&A session.
