Get tips to enhance the performance of your immunoassays from the experts and improve the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of your results. In this webinar, you will learn: How to select appropriate samples and use alternate sample types in immunoassays; Procedures to handle and process samples for use in immunoassays; Steps taken to overcome matrix interference in immunoassay development. Immunoassays play an indispensable role in scientific research. They facilitate the detection and quantification of specific analytes, enabling in-depth investigations into disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and evaluation of the potential of therapeutic interventions. Sample selection and preparation are of utmost importance, as they have a direct impact on the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of the obtained results. Properly selecting and preparing samples ensures that they are representative of the population under study and that the analytes of interest are preserved in their native state. In addition, controlling and mitigating matrix interference is crucial in immunoassays to minimize the influence of sample components that may hinder the accuracy of measurements. In this webinar, immunoassay experts will provide practical guidance on these areas. By carefully addressing these considerations, researchers can achieve more precise and meaningful results, advancing our knowledge and understanding in various scientific fields.

In an electron microscope, core-loss inelastic scattering events are relatively rare. However, these inelastic events reveal a wealth of desirable material information, such as the atomic resolution distribution of elements in the material and their bonding and electronic state. In the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) spectrum imaging (SI) is the method of choice for collecting these events at atomic resolution. Still, this method has traditionally been limited in speed and efficiency by the hardware and acquisition strategies employed. In this webinar, we demonstrate the capabilities of Gatan’s Stela® hybrid-pixel camera, powered by DECTRIS, and eaSI™ technology, which together enable STEM-EELS SI data capture at rates of up to 9,000 pixels/s. Data is collected and processed at this rate in real-time to give immediate feedback on an experiment in progress. With live continuous drift correction in Gatan’s DigitalMicrograph® software, delays between frames are eliminated to allow the most efficient use of the near-zero read noise Stela camera. We will present best practice workflows that simultaneously minimize specimen damage and allow atomic resolution STEM-EELS data capture, even when using a conventional, uncorrected microscope. Presenters: Liam Spillane, Analytical Application Scientist, Gatan

Discover a groundbreaking webinar exploring innovative approaches in the discovery of bispecific antibodies using the ATX-CLC mouse strain along with reviewing case studies and validated data. Bispecific antibodies continue to be a transformative approach to treating a wide range of diseases across a range of mechanisms including T-Cell engagers, biparatopics, cis-targeting and more. However, discovering novel, developable and therapeutically relevant bispecifics is technically and strategically challenging and requires deep domain expertise as well as next-generation, integrated workflows. Alloy Therapeutic’s bispecific discovery services integrate best-in-class discovery platform technologies with world-class scientific experts to serve as an extension of research and development (R&D) teams and take bispecific programs further faster.

Discover a groundbreaking webinar delving into automated plate-based unparalleled peptide library production. Peptides and other beyond-rule-of-five compounds have become thoroughly entrenched within the medicinal chemist’s modality toolbox. Principally, this is motivated by their potential for antibody-like target affinity and specificity coupled with the potential for cell permeability. With the advent of unbiased screening technologies, incorporating both natural and non-natural amino acids, the propensity for pursuing a discovery project with these compounds has become more tractable. Once hits are selected from the primary screen, the chemist’s job truly begins. Automated parallel peptide synthesizers enable the preparation of hundreds to thousands of peptides simultaneously, further driving a peptide drug discovery campaign. However, solutions that address the onerous downstream and high-throughput workup requirements for those peptide libraries are limited. The featured speaker will present data demonstrating a disruptive approach to downstream handling of peptide libraries that replaces traditionally manual processes without compromising peptide integrity and product yield. All the while potentially improving purity before delivery to downstream biological assays. As technologies for unbiased peptide library screening incorporating both natural and non-natural amino acids have evolved, the appetite for large and synthetic peptide libraries has increased. Therefore, demanding changes to the traditional workflow to avoid significant productivity bottlenecks. New technologies must consider fundamental standards from the established methodologies before widespread acceptance can be achieved. Join this webinar to gain insight into the uncompromising criteria and understand how those demands are addressed in this newly proposed peptide library workflow.
