Analytical Chemistry 2018

This field spans through most scientific disciplines, studying cell imaging, stem cells, cell physiology and structure, cell signaling, cell culture, and translational biology, and encompassing other scientific fields such as cancer biology, neuroscience, genetics, bioengineering and so much more. The free, two-day conference will bring together professors, post-docs, biologists and biomedical professionals from all over the world.

Take discovery and simple analysis to new heights. Learn about Thermo Fisher Scientific’s products’ BEA process monitoring capabilities – from simplifying tech transfer from research and process development into clinical trials and commercialization. This webinar aims to explain the benefits of working with the TruBio Discovery Automation System, as well as the Thermo ScientificTM Prima PRO Process Mass Spectrometer. The newest model of the Prima PRO Process Mass Spectrometer enhances results using a variable magnetic field to maximize ion separation within the scanning magnetic sector. Gain insights on how to maximize result accuracy alongside other systemic best practices.

The Tilt from Mizar Imaging is a modular light sheet illumination system designed for high-resolution imaging. Mounting to most inverted microscopes, the Tilt enables light sheet imaging to be easily added to an existing or new microscope system. Existing light sheet microscopes use low(ish) NA detection objectives. Physically impossible to use the light sheet with high NA objectives (using traditional objective orientation)

Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling is the process by which electrical excitation drives cardiomyocyte mechanical shortening. Following membrane depolarization, calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels triggers calcium release from intracellular stores. Increased cytosolic calcium binds to troponin, allowing sliding of actin thin filaments against myosin thick filaments. This results in myocyte contraction. Cytosolic calcium extrusion and sequestration induces myofilament relaxation, readying the cardiomyocyte to begin again. Understanding this tightly regulated process, as well as how perturbations disrupt it, is critical to understanding heart function and dysfunction.
