Upcoming Webinars
Simplify Complex Nucleic Acid Extractions: Learn how to build walk away automated methods for FFPE, ccfDNA, Blood etc.
Automating your nucleic acid extraction workflows can enable higher throughput, improve precision, reduce labor, etc. However, developing the methods on highly flexible and sophisticated liquid handling workstations such as the Hamilton, Tecan, Beckman Coulter etc. is non-trivial and requires an understanding of the robotics, the biological sample, the extraction chemistry, and the quality requirements of the downstream application to assess the performance of the workflow. Join our interactive Forum and ask our panel of experts all the challenging questions you have on how to efficiently automate your nucleic acid extraction workflow.

Wednesday, Nov 13Does PowerPlex® 18E System Live Up to its Promise?
No other field of forensic medicine has developed as explosively in recent years as forensic molecular biology. New methods are constantly being developed, including special applications, which are intended to improve the processing of specific case constellations. The Institute for Forensic Medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich has been focusing with and on two such applications – both dealing with mixture deconvolution - for many years: The preparation of individual skin flakes from adhesive tapes as well as single cell DNA typing. Skin flakes and single cells are the ideal material to explore the potential and limitations of the new PowerPlex® 18E System. Join our featured speaker, Prof Dr. Katja Anslinger, as she provides results from her comparative tests to answer the question, does the kit live up to its promise?
Presenters:
Dr. Anupama Gopalakrishnan, Sr. Product Manager, Promega
Professor Dr. Katja Anslinger, Head of Department - Forensic Molecular Biology, Institute of Legal Medicine, LMU, Munich

Wednesday, Oct 30Advancing Cellular Imaging With Enhanced Tagging Technologies
In the field of fluorescence microscopy, traditional fluorescent proteins have been instrumental in visualizing cellular processes, but they come with significant limitations. Issues such as photobleaching, poor signal-to-noise ratios and limited color options have often hindered the quality, reliability and multiplexing potential of imaging results. The HaloTag® system offers a robust solution by allowing researchers to fuse their protein of interest with the HaloTag® protein and pair it with the powerful Janelia Fluor® dyes that are available in a variety of colors. Learn how this innovative labeling approach addresses the challenges of traditional fluorescent proteins, such as photobleaching and low signal-to-noise ratios. The webinar will cover key super-resolution techniques, including Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM), STORM, and STED, and their applications in both live and fixed specimen imaging.
