Seminar: Leica SP8 FALCON

Karl Heinz Körtje, an application specialist from Leica, will give a seminar about our new Leica SP8 FALCON with a white light laser (WLL) and FLIM detector. SEMINAR: Wednesday November 13th TIME: 10:00-11:00 a.m. LOCATION: Lab Building East Seminar room ground floor Our new SP8 confocal comes with a pulsed white light laser (WLL) and FALCON that allows for time-gated acquisition to remove the auto-fluorescence. In addition, this supercontinuum white light source can be tuned to any wavelength between 470 and 700 nm, thereby allowing to excite (or photo-convert/activate) your fluorophore with the optimal wavelength.The FALCON in addition allows for Read More …

Seminar: Step into the Unresolved – Versatile Tools Towards Real-time Single-molecule Biology

The bioimaging facility is hosting a seminar about Optical Tweezers by Ann Mukhortava (LUMICKS) , Step into the Unresolved: Versatile Tools Towards Real-time Single-molecule Biology Ann Mukhortava, Philipp Rauch, Gerrit Sitters and Andrea Candelli Date: September 3rd, Time: 15:00h Location: LBE / i06 – meetingroom ground floor Abstract: Biological processes performed by proteins interacting with and processing DNA and RNA are key to cell metabolism and life. Detailed insights into these processes provide essential information for understanding the molecular basis of life and the pathological conditions that develop when such processes go awry. The next scientific breakthrough consists in the Read More …

Seminar: Union Biometrica’s BioSorter for large and delicate sample types, 19 August 2019

Dear all, we would like to invite you to a seminar introducing a flow cytometer specially developed for large sample types, e.g. Zebrafish and Drosophila embryos, C. elegans, plant seeds and seedlings, large cell clusters and so on. The seminar will take place on August 19, 2019 in the ground floor seminar room of Lab building east (I06.EG.018), starting at 3pm. Union Biometrica extends the utility of flow cytometry to samples that are too large or too fragile for traditional flow instruments. This technology provides a method for analysis and dispensing, increasing throughput and replacing manual sorting. The BioSorter™ flow Read More …

Update semi-automated cell sorter: installation and seminar March 21, 2019 – 9 a.m.

We would like to inform you that the Sony Sh800 semi-automated cell sorter is being installed next week and will very soon be introduced in the BioImaging Facility. Dr. Sebastian Weißmann (Sony Biotechnology) will once more hold a seminar to introduce the semi-automated Sony SH800 cell sorter on next Thursday (March 21), from 9-10am  in Mondi 1. This seminar is an unique change to get a much deeper insight into the new sorters technology; ‘do’s & don’ts’ and insights in flow cytometry applications. Joining this seminar will give you an head-start in case you are interested to use the sorter Read More …
