Assay miniaturization - options available and helpful hints
Thursday, June 25, 2009, 9:00 AM Eastern Time (ET)

The focus of today's Webinar will be a discussion on various aspects of assay miniaturization. Reducing reagent costs, compound usage and preparation time has become an important goal in any laboratory performing biochemical and cell-based assays. We will review important concepts and different options available to you when designing an assay miniaturization protocol. Topics to be included are:

What does assay miniaturization mean?
What are your options in terms of microplates, are all microplates the same?
How will my data be influenced by miniaturizing the assay?
How will my microplate readers and other pieces of equipment be impacted if I miniaturize my assay?

Speaker: Mark Rothenberg, Ph.D.
