Upcoming SelectScience Webinars

SelectScience® hosts dozens of informative free webinars for scientists every month, featuring world-class speakers at the very forefront of their respective fields. In this week’s feature, we are focusing on webinars that may especially interest those working in the field of biopharmaceuticals. If you wish to empower your research, you won't want to miss these webinars. In addition, we also highlight some of our top on-demand webinars, ensuring that you don’t miss out on these free learning opportunities.

Understand key considerations for the early stage of clinical manufacturing of cell therapies, explore how nano-flow cytometry can be utilized to assess the quality of lipid nanoparticles (LNP), learn how to optimize clone selection in cell line development, and discover how to characterize antibody stability via low volume, high-throughput subvisible particle imaging, counting, sizing, and identification.

iPSCs & single cell isolation – Considerations of clinical manufacturing workflow

Analysis of oligonucleotides by accurate mass LC/MS: Sequencing and impurity analysis to support development at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

For cell therapy manufacturing, an important aspect of an investigational new drug (IND) application is demonstrating that the generated cell line is clonally derived while fulfilling GMP regulations. In this webinar, we will explore key considerations for the early stage of clinical manufacturing including single cell deposition methods, the importance of monoclonality assurance, consistency in the workflow, and the reduction of project timelines.

Assessment of LNP quality and encapsulation efficiency by nano-flow cytometry

Using nitrogen as a GC-MS carrier gas: Opportunities to eliminate reliance on helium

In this webinar, Dr. Clayton Deighan, North American Sales and Application Manager at NanoFCM, and Ben Peacock, Head of Research at NanonFCM, will discuss how you can quantify particle size, concentrations, and loaded cargo in a single flow-based platform with the NanoAnalyzer. Explore how simultaneous side scatter and fluorescence measurements provides comprehensive data for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) samples at multiple stages of production and storage. Plus, discover how flexible labeling options allow for a range of presented or encapsulated cargo to be identified and measured at the single particle level.

Complete mAb stability characterization: From CHO cell line development to degraded polysorbate ID

Comprehensive and easy-to-use workflows for oligonucleotide sequence confirmation

Subvisible particles (SVP) in biologics are critical quality attributes that characterize a sample’s stability and quality. However, current technique’s sample requirements mean that SVP characterization only happens late in development. In this webinar, Dr. Bernardo Cordovez, the founder and chief scientific officer of Halo Labs, will share how Aura® systems have been designed to characterize antibody stability as early as cell line development (CLD) via low volume, high-throughput subvisible particle imaging, counting, sizing, and identification. Aura enables complete characterization from CHO CLD, developability assessment, formulation development, late-stage stability analysis, and product release.

Optimizing clone selection in cell line development

Comprehensive vehicle emissions testing using thermal desorption (TD) and GC×GC–TOF MS

From gene cloning and initial clone selection through to final cell evaluation, the continual assessment of cell count and viability is important for determining the best growing and highest producing clones. This information can be used for monitoring proliferation rates, optimizing growth conditions and normalizing cell data for further studies. Traditional methods for measuring cell count and viability are often low throughput, time-consuming and lacking in linearity. Advanced flow cytometry provides a fast, accurate and reproducible solution for cell viability and density quantification, which is essential for efficient biologics development processes. In this webinar, Daryl Cole, applications scientist, Sartorius, will present data on how the high-throughput iQue® Advanced Flow Cytometry platform can be effectively used for simultaneous and accurate evaluation of cell count and viability.

Tuesday, March 21, at 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.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.OligonucleotidesOligonucleotides are small nucleic acid polymers, usually less than 20 bases in length. Oligonucleotides can be made via enzymatic cleavage or more commonly by chemical synthesis with polymerases. Their use includes FISH, southern blots, microarrays and as primers in PCR. High fidelity synthesis kits and detection systems are available for easy production and detection, respectively.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.
