Breathe Easy with Better Models

Now Watching Research for Activating Macrophages and Dendritic Cells with Nanomedicine in Lung Carcinoma https://youtu.be/wljKOIcYsUM Macrophages can mediate phagocytosis of cancer cells and cytotoxic tumor killing, and engage in effective bidirectional interactions with components of the innate and adaptive immune system. Given the continuous recruitment of myelomonocytic cells into tumor tissues, macrophages are candidates for […]

Future-Proofing Single Cell Applications

Now Watchinghttps://youtu.be/wL2tsRsL9TA Technology has evolved from those early days of batching thousands of cells together to decrypt the millions of base pairs that make up genetic information. Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq), brings together surface protein phenotyping (similar to flow cytometry) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). This is achieved by using […]

The Direct Reading Grid – How it Works

Now Watchinghttps://youtu.be/_wdesbdI5ZkIn this video provides walk-throughs on pairing the Direct Reading Grid (DRG) with the Laminar Wash™ (LW) Plate to create the DRG & LW Plate Unit as well as pipetting, handling, transferring, and Big Bear Vortexing with the DRG and LW Plate Unit.

High-throughput workflow leveraging spectral flow cytometry and CITE-seq to characterize human bone marrow across race and gender

Song, B., Zhang, X., Bennett, S., Ma, S., Ferchen, K., Salomonis, N., & Grimes, H. L. (2023). The Journal of Immunology, 210(1_Supplement), 250.13. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.210.supp.250.13 Characterizing human bone marrow is challenging due to heterogeneity of cell types, and the rarity of some populations. To address this, we developed a workflow that bridges CITE seq and flow […]

Undoing Roadblocks with the HT2000 and PAA

Now Watchinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU5TyFURoRc Laminar Wash™ HT 2000 Sample Preparation System PLUS the Peak Analysis and Automation (PAA) S-Lab Automated Plate Handler integration  Automation is the key to solving “road blocks” of all kinds. Automated processes minimize variability, eliminate error, and increase throughput. Whether it is the toll road systems or laboratory workflows such as sample preparation, […]

Severe COVID-19 infection is associated with aberrant cytokine production by infected lung epithelial cells rather than by systemic immune dysfunction

READ NATURE PORTFOLIO PREPRINT Researchers at the University of Chicago used their Laminar Wash HT2000 system to safely prepare peripheral immune cells from COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe disease for flow cytometry in a biosafety cabinet. This preprint manuscript in a Nature family journal reveals how increased IL-6 and CCL2 in patients with severe […]
