Improve Transfection of Ion Channels and Other Targets for Cell Based Assays

Case Studies and LIVE Discussion with Industry Experts

The MaxCyte® STX™

Scalable Transfection System

Any cell. Any molecule. Any scale.

June 16th, 2009, at 11:00 - 12:00 PM EDT

Drug discovery laboratories struggle with process bottlenecks and poor efficiency of loading specific constructs into cells for cell based assays. Join this webinar and learn how the MaxCyte® STX™ Scalable Transfection System can overcome these challenges and improve the potential for yielding new drug candidates. Case studies will demonstrate the superior performance of the MaxCyte STX™ for loading cells with constructs such as ion channels and reporter systems for use in cell based assays.

The webinar will be led by John Reardon, Ph.D., formerly Senior Vice President of Discovery Research Biology at GlaxoSmithKline and now Chief Scientific Officer at Cardioxyl Pharmaceuticals. Two leading industry experts on cell transfections and ion channels will participate in the webinar: James Brady, Ph.D., Director of Technical Applications at MaxCyte, and Barbara A. Wible, Ph.D., Head of Cellular and Molecular Biology at ChanTest Corporation.
