BTC Events

You are warmly invited to attend a seminar hosted by the Flow Cytometry Core Facility together with Mabtech on Tuesday, 18 February at 4:00pm. During this session, Berend Bassleer and Domenico Sauter from Mabtech will present EYRA and EYRAplex, a new bead-based multiplex solution that enables sensitive biomarker analysis with a fluidics-free readout. They will also discuss the possibility of arranging a hands-on demonstration of the instrument at a later date, depending on the level of interest from participants. The presentation will cover: Principles of bead-based multiplexing using EYRAplex assays The seminar is intended for researchers working with cytokines, chemokines, or other soluble biomarkers, as well as anyone interested in multiplex assay technologies and modern immunoassay workflows, particularly those who appreciate the capabilities of Luminex assays but would prefer a solution that spares them the headaches associated with fluidics.

Learn how to optimize sample preparation and leverage multiplexing technologies to increase throughput, reduce costs, and minimize batch effects in single-cell studies. This seminar will cover practical recommendations for sample handling, workflow selection, and experimental design, with a focus on OCM, Chromium Flex, and Flex Apex. Whether you are planning a new study or looking to scale existing projects, join us to explore strategies for generating high-quality single-cell data more efficiently.
