Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Highlight the Need for Sensitivity and Resolution in Educational Webinar
YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB) June 07, 2018 -- The Imaging and Cytometry Core Lab at the University of York is in the Bioscience Technology Facility that serves a multidisciplinary biology department, as well as external users through an open access approach. As such, samples come from many varied user types that span the breadth of biology and beyond. From bacterial samples through to plant samples, immunologists through to cancer research, neurobiology through to stem cell, ecologists through to environmental control.
Through this webinar, which is sponsored by the team at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, participants will get a look at some novel technologies being exploited at York that will illustrate how cytometry and the need for improved sensitivity is vital. Speakers will look at how best to approach difficult samples types and how we are using the CytoFlex for a wide variety of samples types through both its single tube and its 96 well plate autoloader.
There will be two speakers for this event, Dr. Peter O’Toole, director of the Bioscience Technology Facility at the University of York and Dr. Karen Hogg, an experimental officer over imaging and cytometry at the University of York, Bioscience Technology Facility.
As the director of the Bioscience Technology Facility at the University of York O’Toole covers the broad technologies required for a multi-disciplined Department of Biology. He received his doctorate in the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at Essex and has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging and cytometry. Hi current research is focused on both technology and method development of novel probes and imaging modalities.
Hogg is an Experimental Officer: Imaging and Cytometry at the University of York, Bioscience Technology Facility. Her expertise is utilized for a wide range of diverse applications both within and external to the Department of Biology. She obtained her doctorate from the School of Biology, University of Leeds. In 2016, Hogg was awarded the Royal Microscopical Society medal for Flow Cytometry.
LabRoots will host the webinar June 26, 2018, beginning at 8 a.m. PDT, noon EDT. To learn more about this event, discover the continuing education credit offered, or to register for free, click here.
