Agenda:

• How to Go from Good to Great: Tips for improving your microplate assays, and pitfalls to avoid

• Covers issues to consider when setting up microplate assays, how PathCheck improves assay results, tips on measuring nucleic acids by UV absorbance, and general tips on fluorescence use

• Advantages of Fluorescence and Luminescence for Analytical Detection

• Covers comparisons between several absorbance assays and their fluorescence and luminescence alternatives, including protein and nucleic acids, endotoxin, ELISAs, and cell proliferation and viability assays

• Cell-Based Assays: Meeting the Challenges

• Provides advice on microplate choice, importance of optimizing cell labeling, using WellScan to correct for uneven cell distribution, maximizing signal with Bottom Read feature, and scaling down cell-based assay volume
