Webinars

2020 & 2021 have shown us how important digital solutions have become to enable collaboration and to work remotely. With less access to the lab and your colleagues, the move to digital tools is even more important.

In this On Demand webinar you will be given an introduction to where the digital lab space can become a reality for you and how to begin your digital transformation.

We will cover the areas where digitization will improve your workflow and sample safety, giving you more time to focus on what is important. Your Science!

Learning Objectives

• Understanding the potential impact of the available digital solutions on your work and the benefits of "Going Digital" in the Lab
• Considerations for starting and navigating through the transformation to a digital laboratory
• Identification of starting points for your laboratory and areas where digitization will improve your workflow and sample safety

Date & Time: 

• Thursday, June 30, 2022, 5:30pm (CEST)

Speaker:

• Stephen Dey. Head of Regional Segment Marketing, Eppendorf UK

Bio Speaker:

Science background and has been involved with digitalization project at Eppendorf for the last 5 years. He currently heads the European segment marketing team.

We will discuss the background of speed in PCR cyclers, including technical specifications and materials. We will reveal the secret of ramp rates and go into the details of PCR optimization. Finally, we will explain the correct combination of cycler, consumable and reagent to get the maximum out of your PCR.

Your learnings:

• Technical background of PCR cyclers
• What is responsible for speed in your PCR experiment
• The ideal combination for speeding up your PCR

Date & Time: Thursday, July 7, 2022, 5:00 PM (CEST), 60 minutes

The laboratory of today relies on digitization at every step of the experimental workflow. Though digitization offers more information, they cannot prevent failures alone because scientists need to react quickly to prevent issues, e.g. sample loss. Even the smallest change in temperature can affect the quality of a sample, so notification and monitoring systems are needed.

In this webinar, we will discuss fundamentals of prepping your lab to go digital in a strategic way with the focal point of ensuring "Sample Safety" and "Data Integrity". We will discuss healthy habits, and implementation game plans for a reliable sample storage process post choosing your leading system (ELN/LIMS/LES) of choice.

Date & Time: Monday, May 2, 2022, 5:00 PM (CEST)

Contamination is an everyday challenge in cell culture labs. Undetected or ignored contamination endanger the reliability and reproducibility of experimental data. Are ethanol and antibiotics the best measures to prevent microbial contamination? Get to know the most effective methods to detect mycoplasma and to fight against the common types of contaminants. In this educational webinar you will learn how to recognize and identify different types of contaminants in cultivated cells. We will discuss how to apply aseptic techniques and preventive hygiene and give practical tips for preventing contamination by incorporating standard procedures into your daily culture practice.

Covered areas in the session:

• Types and sources of contamination
• Aseptic techniques and preventive hygiene
• Best practices to keep your lab contamination-free

Date & Time: March, 31th, 8am PDT, 11am EDT, 4pm CET, 8.30pm IST, 11pm MYT (KL)/CST
