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. Join us for our free workshop co-organised by Malvern Panalytical, National University of Singapore’s Departments of Surgery and Pharmacy. We focus on the characterisation technique - Nanoparticle tracking analysis - from experimental design, data collection, data analysis and interpretation and also applications. Look forward to hands-on time with our latest NTA - NanoSight Pro too. This workshop marks the Singapore-leg of our international tour. Book an appointment to meet our specialist as she hosts workshops in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Bangkok.
