Optimizing Assay Performance through Microplate Attributes and Equipment Settings
Tuesday, March 04, 2008, 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)

Successful high throughput screening (HTS) campaigns rely on understanding the impact of several interacting factors that influence assay performance. This live, on-line seminar will address some of the important elements that can affect assay performance. Focus will be given to microplate attributes such as surface characteristics and well geometry. In the role of instrumentation in assay technology (i.e., luminescence, fluorescence and label free detection) in signal reporting will be discussed.

Speaker: Michael Briggs, Ph.D.

Michael Briggs, Ph.D., is an Application Scientist at Corning. He began his tenure with Corning as a scientist in the Life Science Applications group, and his research focused on optimizing microarray processes, substrates, and reagents. Michael received his B.S. in Biology from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Rochester. He has completed two post-doctoral fellowships, including a fellowship at Harvard Medical School where he investigated the molecular mechanisms regulating the pathogenesis of cancer metastasis.
