Speaker: Anthony Carcio, Field Application Scientist, Sony Biotechnology
This webinar will provide insights to researchers who are new to sorting or who operate shared flow facilities on how the Sony MA900 can support varied user needs and guided workflows for sorting. Learn how an automated and streamlined sort setup can increase the capabilities within a multi-user lab, review how the MA900 enables seamless setup and exchange of different chips without instrument downtime between users, and understand how the MA900 can be maintained in multi-user labs for successful, high-throughput, and gentle sorting of various cells.

Speaker: Dr. Jasmine Ying-Jiun Chen
Dr. Chen will share Abiosciences’ effort in evaluating BioLegend’s TotalSeq™-C Human Universal Cocktail using the 10x Genomics single-cell platform on fresh and frozen PBMCs. This includes bioinformatics pipelines to compare the quality control metrics, isotype matched control performance, and cell subtype analyses. Advanced visualization and analysis tools were developed to interrogate the data in a flow cytometry paradigm, including complex gating strategies to identify rare cell subtypes. The pilot study is being expanded to larger scale clinical settings and may help characterize important cell populations that are associated with disease status, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic response.

Speaker: Joe Trask, North America HCS Product Line Leader, Cellular Imaging and Analysis, PerkinElmer, and Alexander Schreiner Team Leader, Biological Applications Team, PerkinElmer, Hamburg, Germany
Cell Painting is a phenotypic screening method and a powerful application of high-content screening technology. Specific cellular compartments and organelles are simultaneously stained with six fluorescent probes, followed by imaging and analysis to extract hundreds to thousands of features to phenotypically profile the cells and gain a deeper understanding of the effects of chemical, drug, or genetic perturbagens.

Speaker: Jeff Clapper, Senior Field Applications Scientist Sony Biotechnology Inc.
The ID7000™ spectral cell analyzer is ideal for high-dimensional flow cytometry. More lasers and many more detectors mean more fluorochromes can be resolved in combination.

Speaker: Vendula Sinkorova, Senior Field Application Scientist, Sony Biotechnology Inc.
In this webinar from Sony, we will review the workflows to highlight the ease of operating the ID7000™ spectral cell analyzer to obtain high-parameter, high-quality data.

Speaker: Mark Carter, Manager of Assay Development. Product Development Cell Analytics, Sartorius
Understanding immune system dynamics and their role in health and disease, as well as developing novel therapies, relies on the use of powerful analytical screening tools to probe cellular functions. Characterizing immune cell function such as the induction and persistence of T cell exhaustion is important for furthering therapeutic interventions.

Adam W. York, Ph.D. Sr. Staff Scientist in Chemistry R&D at Thermo Fisher Scientific
A study initiated by the International Society for the Advancement of Flow Cytometry (ISAC) found that microspheres with assigned MESF (molecules of equivalent soluble fluorophore) values were not always accurate and differed considerably from one manufacturer to another. To address these inconsistencies, the ERF (equivalent reference fluorophore) intensity unit was introduced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Speaker: Dirk Homann, MD, PhD, MA, Professor of Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
The relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetes has been proposed to exhibit a “bidirectional dynamic”, where pre-existing diabetes may exacerbate the course of COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2 infection, in turn, may precipitate diabetes.
