Extracellular Vesicles Applications and Characterisation Workshop (Melbourne, Deakin Uni)

About The Event

Extra-cellular microvesicles and exosomes are found to be of great importance in the development and diagnosis of a wide range of disease states. For instance, from cancer to diabetes treatments. Found to be generated by nearly all cells and in all organisms, they are believed to contain a wide range of signalling proteins as well as genetic material of many different types. Their detection has, to date, only been possible by electron microscopy or by classical methods of analysis such as DLS. Conventional flow cytometry has a lower limit in practice of some 300nm and therefore cannot see the majority of microvesicular material thought to be present. NTA offers a means by which not only can such structures be seen and concentration measured, but variations in the technique, such as fluorescence mode NTA, have allowed exosomes to be phenotyped. This multi-parameter capability, compatible with natural structures in their native environment promises to be of significant value in the elucidation of the role these structures play. Malvern Panalytical and our Australia partner - ATA Scientific, are proud to bring you an EVs applications and characterisation workshop. There will be guest talks by international scientists as well as our scientist from the supply center in Malvern UK. Look forward to the launch of our latest NTA technology which will be on display at the tour and ISEV conference too. This workshop marks the Australia-leg of our international tour.
