Expert Insight: 9 upcoming webinars to optimize your scientific processes

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 regular feature, we highlight the events you won't want to miss over the next week or so, as well as some of our top on-demand webinars.

This week, assess alternative systems for the analysis of dioxins and furans, understand what can be achieved with qPCR and dPCR in gene expression and genetic variation experiments, discover the potential of neurofilament light chain (NfL) as a biomarker for neurological disorders, and learn how MS data helps spot co-eluting components and UV-transparent peaks.

Plus, gain insight into Abcam’s recombinant antibody technology which ensures highly specific and sensitive antibodies, understand how ex vivo engineered T cells represent an innovative approach to achieving a response against solid tumors, and identify suitable anticoagulants for arterial blood gas samples. Finally, learn about current regulatory requirements and what this means for your lab, and gain expert insights into analysis tools to compare data consistency across instruments.

Advancing technology for dioxins analysis – adapting methodology to address current and future needs

Many laboratories are investigating new methodology and instrumentation to address the demanding needs of ‘“dioxin’” and dioxin-like persistent organic pollutants (POP’s) analysis. This webinar will assess alternative systems for the analysis of dioxins and furans and discuss the advantages of alternative test procedures.
