Linking phenotype and function: Single-cell insights with Nanovials and large particle sorting using the SH800 cell sorter
Wednesday, November 5, at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 8:00 PST
Advances in cell therapy and immunology increasingly demand technologies that move beyond surface marker profiling to capture the true functional properties of single cells. This webinar showcases the use of the Nanovial technology from Partillion Bioscience in conjunction with the new Large Particle Sorting Option available for SH800 and MA900 cell sorters from Sony Biotechnology.
Nanovial technology uses a microparticle platform that captures cytokine secretion while preserving cell viability, thus enabling direct linkage of phenotype to function for deeper insights into immune biology and therapeutic development.
This webinar will discuss the use of Nanovials for:
- high-throughput screening of CAR libraries and the recovery of rare antigen-specific TCRs with demonstrated tumor-targeting efficacy; and
- immune profiling of T-cell subsets and simultaneous measurement of surface markers and secretion of resting T-cell phenotypes.
Our expert speakers will also introduce the new Large Particle Sorting Option available for Sony cell sorters, which are suitable for these types of applications. This software feature is designed to expand compatibility with Nanovials, organoids, and hydrogel platforms, making it easier than ever to integrate functional assays into routine flow cytometry workflows.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand how Nanovial technology links T-cell surface phenotype with cytokine secretion.
- Explore applications in engineered receptor discovery and immune profiling.
- Learn how the Large Particle Sorting Option for the SH800 and MA900 supports Nanovials, organoids, and other large particle-based assays.
Who should attend?
Researchers working in the areas of immunology, oncology, and cell therapy who are developing CAR/TCR platforms or studying functional immune responses. The webinar is also useful for core facility managers and lab leaders seeking new sorter capabilities.
