ASCB attendees are encouraged to attend one or more of the three workshop sessions that GE Healthcare is sponsoring at this year’s meeting. Speak to GEHC professionals to learn about the latest in application expertise to accelerate your molecular biology, protein and cellular research.

The workshops are all scheduled on Monday, December 13, 2010 in room 109 of the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Advances in Simplified Protein Sample Preparation with Magnetic Beads Methods
9:15AM-9:55AM

Quantitative vs. Qualitative Western Blotting
9:55AM-10:35AM

IN Cell-High Content Analysis
10:35AM-11:15AM

A complimentary Continental breakfast will be served. Seating for these events is limited so please register by following the Company article page link top right of this page.

GE Healthcare will feature several new products at this year’s ASCB exhibition, including the new Amersham™ ECL™ Prime, which consolidates and builds on the benefits of Amersham™ ECL™ Plus and Amersham™ECL Advance™ to deliver a detection system that is sensitive, stable, quantitative, and conservative in its consumption of expensive antibody reagents.

GE Healthcare scientists are also presenting the following posters:

1321/B619. Human Stem Cell Derived Cardiomyocytes: Drug safety and Toxicity. B. Kendall Mon, Dec 13, 7:30 AM

1326/B624. Advances in Simplified Protein Sample Preparation with Magnetic Beads Methods. H. Hedlund Mon, Dec 13, 7:30 AM

2259/B657. Rapid buffer scouting and quality control of integral membrane proteins. C. Löw; P. Moberg; M. Hedren; L. Haneskog; P. Nordlund Tue, Dec 14, 7:30 AM

Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems. Find the best western blotting equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ADME-ToxicologyADME-toxicology (ADME-Tox) studies are used in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to assess the activity/toxicity of drugs <i>in vivo</i> or <i>in vitro</i>. Find bioassays for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug molecules including cytotoxicity, transporter/permeability, metabolism and activity assays as well as hepatocytes and cell lines for ADME. Find the best ADME-toxicology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
