SelectScience® attended the American Association of Immunologists’ (AAI) annual IMMUNOLOGY conference in San Diego, California, USA. The conference brought together scientific and industry leaders from around the world to explore the latest advancements in immunology. In this article, find out about some of the technology highlights on offer from exhibitors at this year's event.

1. xMAP multiplex technology from Luminex

Luminex demonstrated the latest flow cytometry systems to join its diverse portfolio, including the xMAP multiplexing technology, designed to help you move from multiple assays to just one. At the conference, Luminex offered one-on-one sessions on developing custom assays and optimizing your laboratory experience. You can find out more about multiplex assay technology in this downloadable eBook.

2. BioLegend’s TotalSeq antibodies

BioLegend provided attendees with the chance to chat to immunology experts, pick up a range of ‘purple perks’ giveaways, and attend free demos of the latest products on offer. The BioLegend team also presented expert workshops, including a session discussing the applications and advantages of TotalSeq™, BioLegend’s range of oligonucleotide-conjugated antibodies for proteogenomics studies.

3. The New Benchtop Quanterix SP-X™

Quanterix presented two posters highlighting how the SP-X™ imaging and analysis system is designed to use next-generation Simoa® planar array technology to offer true multiplex detection in immunology and immuno-oncology research.

4. Single-Cell Immune Profiling Solutions with 10x Genomics

In its immune profiling workshop, 10x Genomics demonstrated a scalable method for deciphering TCR–pMHC specificity and explored how researchers are using this technology to unlock T cell repertoires and understand T cell specificity in tumors vs. healthy tissues using single-cell multi-omic analysis.

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.Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.ImmunoassayImmunoassays are laboratory tests that utilize antibody-antigen interactions to detect specific substances. They are widely used in diagnostics for detecting diseases, drug testing, and environmental monitoring. These assays offer rapid, sensitive, and precise detection of biomarkers, making them invaluable in clinical and research labs.
