The Benchpro 2100 and 4100 are two benchtop devices recently launched by Life Technologies for automated DNA plasmid purification and Western blot processing, respectively. In this presentation, the design, operation, and performance of these novel platforms will be described.

Bruker

AFM for Bioengineering: Recent Advances in High Resolution Imaging and Nanomechanical Measurements

(45 min talk, 15 min questions & 1 hr Catalyst demo)

In this workshop, Bruker Scientists will discuss how the latest technological advances in AFM are enabling new research in Bioengineering. Topics will include the functional integration of AFM and optical microscopy, long duration live cell studies, how our new mode ScanAsyst™ is improving the ease of high resolution imaging under near-physiological conditions, as well as how PeakForce™ QNM™ is revolutionizing AFM with the ability to map the nanomechanical properties of biological samples. The presentation will be followed by a live demonstration of the BioScope™ Catalyst™ - the highest performance life science AFM on the market.
