Webinars

COVID-19 is a complex multi-phase disease in which the immune system causes disease exacerbation in some patients. This talk covers how digital pathology and tissue multiplexing techniques can be combined to effectively investigate the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 to better inform the optimal selection and scheduling of therapeutic approaches.

At the 53rd Meeting of the European Pancreatic Club, Leica Biosystems sponsored interesting short talks from Prof Aldo Scarpa, President of EPC, and Dr Rita Lawlor on "Multiplexing Immunohistochemistry for Applied Research", and “Digital imaging for biobanking and artificial intelligence”.

RNAscope detects RNA in any tissue type and is becoming a widely used technique in research laboratories. Dr. Carossino introduces IHC and ISH  methodologies and platforms, as well as the advantages of automating these techniques with respect to RNAscope and automation with Leica Biosystems BOND RXM.  

Processing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user.  

At the Multiplex User Meeting hosted via LabRoots, Helen Snyder, PhD delivered a live session detailing Cell IDx’s UltraPlex chromogenic multiplex IHC technology. Their chromogenic detection system of 3-4 markers simultaneously is developed to run on BOND RX autostainer in 4-5 hours,  providing maximal information on small tissue samples for biomarker discovery. 

There is an ever-increasing demand to derive more information from limited research samples. Establishing expression profiles of the tumor microenvironment can be achieved via multiplex staining now with chromogenic detection. Discover how the new features of the Leica Biosystems BOND research system and new assays combine to support automated 6-plex chromogenic multiplexing.

In Part 1 of a two-part webinar series hosted originally on LabRoots, Fiona Tarbet gives a comprehensive overview focusing on how to mitigate the common issues experienced during histology that subsequently affect the stages of tissue preparation and processing.
