Bite into hands-free, on-the-money buffer exchange with Unagi and Big Tuna
Bite into hands-free, on-the-money buffer exchange with Unagi and Big Tuna Webinar
Date: 29 June, Wednesday
Time: 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 5pm CEST
The Problem
Your taste for biologics and gene therapy buffer exchange and concentration may vary between sample number and volumes, but your appetite for precise results never changes. You need to nail exact exchange and concentration targets without giving up your precious time handling your samples.
The Solution
Unagi is the first completely hands-free benchtop buffer exchange solution for up to 8 samples with starting volumes from 0.5 to 8 mL. Big Tuna is a fully automated, plate-based buffer exchange platform that can exchange and concentrate up to 96 samples in parallel with starting volumes from 100 μL to 8 mL. Both systems can further concentrate up to 48 mL of initial sample volume. Each deliver ≥ 96% recovery for protein, mAb, nucleic acid, LNP and AAV buffer exchange and concentration runs using the same innovative buffer exchange technology that provides uniform results and eliminates dead end ultrafiltration with 10, 30, and 100 kDa MWCO options.
The Proof
Learn how simple it is to set up a buffer exchange or concentration run for your biologics and gene therapy samples on Unagi and Big Tuna. We will show case studies for each platform to help you decide which is a better solution for automating your buffer exchange, gaining improved results, and saving precious time in the process.
Learning Objectives:
- Top challenges for buffer exchange of common biologics (mAbs and proteins) and gene therapy (AAVs, LNPs, nucleic acids) biomolecules
- Benefits of BGTx biomolecule automated buffer exchange and concentration to save time
- Benefits of programmable target buffer exchange and concentration values in saving time for downstream analysis

As new technologies increase the accuracy and clinical relevance of our delivery of radiotherapy to preclinical models of cancer, it becomes even more important that the preclinical models are also representative of the clinical scenario. There are limitations to using subcutaneous xenograft models.
Join Xstrahl and Prof. Anthony Chalmers, Chair of Clinical Oncology at the University of Glasgow, as he describes the value of using orthotopic models of cancer in preclinical irradiation experiments.
Specifically, he will address two main methods:
1) Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM), in which the host immune system is also preserved
2) Orthotopically implanted xenografts, which generally require the use of immunocompromised host animals.
Prof. Chalmers will provide examples of how these models are being used in Glasgow to conduct clinically relevant radiotherapy research with the SARRP system. Prof. Chalmers will also be available for Q&A following the presentation.

Live Demo: Have a look-see into Stunner's rapid, low volume AAV titer and empty/full analysis
Hop on Zoom for a live instrument demo!
Have a look-see into Stunner’s rapid, low volume AAV titer & empty/full analysis.
The Problem:
Characterizing AAVs is a hassle that can take hours or days, yet in-process answers on titers, empty/full ratio and aggregation are crucial when you need to decide your next step. And when AAV samples come from downstream purification, every microliter is precious.
The Solution:
Stunner delivers answers on titer, empty/full, and aggregation in less than a minute. Stunner’s dye-free, label-free, and standard-free AAV Quant serves up all that data using only 2 µL of sample - way faster than AUC, ELISA and ddPCR.
The Proof:
Join a live demonstration to see how simple and fast it is to set up, run, and analyze your AAV samples on Stunner.
Date: Thursday, 2 June 2022
Time: 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm CET

Online Course: Cell Culture Under Flow
Want to learn everything about setting up experiments with cells under flow in 2 days?
Sign up for ibidi’s online course on Cell Culture Under Flow and understand which critical factors such as shear rate, viscosity and sheer stress calculations, need to be considered to conduct your own successful flow experiments.
This course is based on the biological knowledge that several adherent cell types, such as endothelial cells in a blood vessel, are exposed to shear stress in vivo. Culturing cells in vitro under perfusion simulates this mechanical stimulus and induces a more physiological behavior.
We will also demonstrate helpful tips and tricks for the practical handling of ibidi Channel Slides.
After the course, you will be equipped with advanced knowledge and a better understanding of the necessary tools to perform your flow experiments like an expert. No sterile working benches or cells are required to participate. Attend the course from the comfort of your office or home.

Seminar - How to Combine Cell Culture and Cell-Based Assays with Imaging
High quality images of cells, which have high spatial and temporal resolution, require not only the appropriate technical equipment to create them, but also careful attention to the sample preparation. This seminar will focus on how to link optimized cell culture with cell-based assays and high-end microscopy. ibidi produces specialized chambers, with specialized geometries and high optical properties, which allow micro-scopical analysis of living or fixed cells during cultivation, treatment within the same dish or slide. In addition, ibidi provides software online that provides fully automated quantitative analysis of cell behavior. Methods such as immunofluorescence, cell migration, and chemotaxis, as well as scientific data, will be presented to give a more in depth look at ibidi’ s integrated approach to cell-based assays. In this talk, we will be focusing on how to optimize the key application and providing an all-in-one solution in:
• Live Cell Imaging
• Immunofluorescence
• Wound Healing and Cell Migration
• Chemotaxis and Angiogenesis
• Cell Culture Under Flow
• 3D culture of spheroids and organoids

Preclinical Multimodal Imaging of Bacterial Infections on Medical Implants (Seminar)
Event details: Preclinical Multimodal Imaging of Bacterial Infections on Medical Implants (Seminar)
This presentation will show how non-invasive preclinical imaging (optical, PET and CT) is being used to better understand the establishment and development of bacterial infections in vivo, and how best to treat them.
In particular, data will be shown as to how preclinical imaging can be used to monitor bacterial infections on orthopaedic implants, and how this technology might be translated into the clinic.
