Stop by and see us at SBS 2009 in Lille! Booth No. - 105

:

Spend a few minutes with PerkinElmer and learn about some of our advances in discovery and screening.

Workshop:

Superior techniques for researching kinase pathways and related biomarkers in biochemical and whole cell formats.

Date: Sunday, April 26, 2009
Time: 1:30pm - 4:30pm
Room: Faidherbe 1

Abstract:
The value of kinase research is indisputable, given their involvement in many essential aspects of cell regulation, and the role of kinases in serious human disease states such as cancer, inflammation and metabolic disorders, making them prime pharmacological targets.

This workshop will discuss and demonstrate new methods for studying the role of biochemical and cellular-based kinase assays, as well as examining kinases in their native state. Particular emphasis will be paid on techniques to enhance kinase assay sensitivity, for optimal use with small sample sizes generally available in kinase research. The workshop will also discuss new and effective methods for the study of biomarkers generated from kinase assay research and development.

Tutorial:

New advances in cellular instrumentation from PerkinElmer

Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Time: 1:30pm - 2:15pm
Room: Rembrandt

Abstract:
Learn about the latest developments in the field of High Content Screening (HCS) and cellular screening with the new Operetta™ HCS instrument, Columbus™ HCS Data Management Software, cell::explorer® automated workstation, and new MicroBeta2™ LumiJET™ liquid scintillation and luminescence plate reader.  

• Learn about a new introductory HCS instrument that will enable users to run HCS applications with smaller scale campaigns. It’s key application areas  include functional receptor activation and signal pathway profiling assays, nuclear factor activation, cell cycle assays, cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays, cell differentiation and more.
• Take a look at Columbus HCS Data Management Software. It solves the problem of HCS data management providing all the tools required to archive, manage, retrieve and protect images and analyzed results and it can archive and manage images from confocal and standard research microscopes acting as a convenient central repository for all your image-based data.  
• The cell::explorer automated system is a dedicated turnkey solution for high content and cellular screening processes. We will present application examples including;  RNAi screening and the new plate::works 5.5 scheduling and control software which increase flexibility and throughput.
• Don’t miss the new MicroBeta² LumiJET developed specifically for flash luminescence assays. Combined with PerkinElmer’s AequoScreen® (aequorin)and PhotoScreen™ (Photina®) reagents and AssayPro® software and the new MicroBeta² LumiJET creates a powerful platform for Ca²+ based GPCR assays. It is a perfect solution for assay development and small focused screens.
