The Bacterial Endotoxin Test (USP 85) is the standard test for ensuring safety from bacterial endotoxin in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. It involves the use of the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagent that produces an increase in turbidity or the onset of color that can be measured by an absorbance reader.Kinetic analysis is ideal for providing test results with the lowest sensitivity and widest quantitative range. To perform this, however, an absorbance reader with incubation capabilities as well as the ability to perform kinetic analysis is needed.As this is a test required by the FDA and other regulatory agencies, data compliance and integrity are also required in the electronic records, approvals, and reports of the software used to operate the microplate reader. Protocols that are created by both the test and instrument manufacturers ensure users have reports that fulfill the correct compliance requirements.

The diagnosis and treatment of tumors critically depend on molecular-genetic data, but this information is not currently available during surgery. Dr. Evrony’s group, in collaboration with neurosurgeon Dr. Daniel Orringer, developed Ultra-Rapid droplet digital PCR (UR-ddPCR). This method allows for ddPCR to be performed in 15 minutes, from tissue to result, with an accuracy comparable to standard ddPCR. We developed UR-ddPCR assays for the IDH1 R132H and BRAF V600E clonal mutations that are present in many low-grade gliomas and melanomas, respectively.Importantly, we demonstrated the clinical feasibility of UR-ddPCR by performing it intraoperatively in 13 glioma surgeries. Join us for this webinar, as well as the live Q&A, and discover how UR-ddPCR may enable new types of point-of-care diagnostics and molecularly guided surgeries.

Human blood is packed with circulating biomarkers. Liquid biopsy takes advantage of this, using a simple blood draw to gain knowledge about a patient, from predisposition to cancer to whether a traumatic brain injury has occurred. Because several diseases are associated with increased biomarkers, it is paramount that analysis of samples reflects concentrations of these analytes at draw time. This leaves research laboratories with two options: Analyze the samples immediately or use a stabilization tube to maintain draw-time analyte concentrations.While stabilization tubes allow for long-term room temperature storage, it can be difficult to know which is the right one for your needs. How do you know when you’ve found “the one?”In this webinar, Dr. Nicholas George, Senior R&D Manager at Streck, will walk you through Streck’s stabilization portfolio to help you find your perfect stabilization match.

Triple negative breast cancer is a clinically aggressive subtype of breast cancer with a high rate of drug resistance and few clinically approved targeted therapies. Moreover, traditional two-dimensional cell culture is unable to fully replicate the complexity of in vivo conditions during drug screens, making it an unreliable predictor for success in clinical trials.Therefore, there is a critical need to develop laboratory models of triple negative breast cancer with greater clinical relevance. This can be accomplished through the use of three-dimensional patient-derived spheroids. Patient-derived models provide substantial advantages: they maintain the cellular heterogeneity of tumors as well as the complex stroma. Additionally, three-dimensional culture techniques which generate spheriods maintain important characteristics found in vivo, such as cell-cell interactions.The Burow/Collins-Burow laboratory has characterized and generated a library of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and patient-derived cell lines (PDCs) generated from donated tissue from breast cancer patients in New Orleans. PDXs and PDCs can be used to generate three-dimensional culture models, including organoids and spheroids. Through using these models rather than immortalized cell lines, studies will have higher relevance to in vivo models and greater clinical relevance.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are among the fastest growing class of biologics and are developed as a combination of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and highly potent cytotoxic molecules (drugs). The antibody, in addition to its own biological specificity through its paratope, has the function of a targeted transporting tool of the drug to the targeted cell. The conjugated molecules or particles typically have cytotoxic activity and thus increase the efficiency of the antibody by an additional mechanism, leading to increased death of cells carrying the target antigen.Conjugation of these drugs to antibodies, however, increases structural complexity which triggers the need for improved characterization methods. Common analytical technologies for characterization of ADCs, such as liquid chromatography, electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry, are useful in enabling the optimization of ADCs but need to be complemented with technologies that can add biophysical and functional information.This webinar will demonstrate the use of Octet® bio-layer interferometry (BLI) platform in combination with the iQue® Advanced Flow Cytometry Platform to characterize and compare the drug trastuzumab to the trastuzumab-containing reference medicinal products Kadcyla® and Enhertu®.

Researchers with limited funding, often face the challenge of only having one top-class microplate reader available on which to run their assays. The reader always seems to be tied up in longer running experiments, and due to their sensitive budget, they often result to purchasing single-mode (absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence) readers from multiple vendors with multiple software systems only to find aggregating data to be a huge bottleneck. These scientists need a reliable solution that is economical and compact but can be integrated into a large work station with multiple instruments with no impact on data quality.In this webinar, we will discuss the various challenges these labs and researchers face and how they can increase their time to discovery, number of papers published, grants applied for, and more with a sensitive budget.

The popularity of countless microplate-based assays and reagents means microplate readers are important for many applications in multiple fields, from environmental research to drug discovery. Microplate detection is used for all non-radioactive detection modes, reading from six- up to 3456-well plates. Beyond a reader’s core functionality, they can be enhanced with monochromators, atmospheric control, reagent injection, stackers advanced detection methods, and other features.The more the better! However, if you are on the market for a plate reader you may quickly realize that the number of choices can be overwhelming. What do I really need? And more importantly, what will I need tomorrow? In this webinar, we touch upon all important features and choices you have to consider when looking for a plate reader.

There are many considerations in evaluating scientific instrumentation to ensure a successful integration into the modern analytical laboratory. The demands for high sample throughput continue to increase, while manpower limitations persist in many labs. Of course, the quality of the data analysis must be of the highest value to provide accurate identification of unknowns and the reliable qualification of components and products. Infrared spectroscopy based analytical instrumentation has found favor in the analytical lab for many years, due to its reliability in providing accurate results noninvasively. However, many labs now require validated solutions, to include microspectroscopic analysis.A new infrared microscope has been introduced to greatly expand the capabilities of the analytical laboratory (Hyperion II, Bruker Scientific, LLC). Performance enhancements have resulted in much faster data collections than previously available allowing for large area imaging to be practical. One of the most important improvements is the novel use of quantum cascade lasers that are artifact free and can be reliably utilized. Business card size areas can now be rapidly imaged with a spatial resolution of five microns! Lastly, all data collected is fully validated and 21 CFR p.11 compliant. The system runs the fully integrated validation tests that can be readily optimized to be in line with your lab’s SOPs.
