Make Your Work Count: Key Factors for Optimal Cell Growth and Sources of Contamination in CO2 Incubators

August 30, 2016 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

| Free

 
Educational Seminar Sponsored by 

 
Please join BioHouston and Sycamore Life Sciences for a free seminar on achieving optimal cell growth.  In this talk, Uwe Ross, President of Binder, Inc., will discuss how to prevent contamination and make the most out of your CO2 incubator.  Identifying various sources of contamination is one of the most important factors in preventing contamination.  Did you know that it can be proven that most claimed research findings are false?  The primary goal of this seminar is to bring various contamination sources to light and make recommendations to improve your results.
 
Key Discussion Topics:
Challenges to Obtain Reliable and Reproducible Results Key Factors for Optimal Cell Growth Sources of Contamination Advantages and Disadvantages to Various Decontamination and Sterilization Methods Recommendations for your existing Equipment to Improve Results
 
Admission is FREE and refreshments will be provided. Please be sure to pre-register as space is limited.
 
About Sycamore:
Sycamore Life Sciences is a Houston based startup, focused on providing the best selection of laboratory consumables, reagents and basic lab equipment. We are building the world’s first online marketplace focused primarily on molecular biology and genomic workflows, designed for scientists, by scientists.
Our goal is to provide researchers with a friction-free user experience that will reduce the time spent on purchasing lab supplies and provide a curated selection of products that can be easily compared through product filters. For example, selection of a microcentrifuge tube is made easier through 15 purpose built filters, ranging from max RCF and tube capacity, to color, packaging, and cap type. Users can easily compare multiple products and find the one that’s best suited for their research.
Our growing portfolio of products include consumables such as PCR tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, cryogenic vials, microplates, PCR plates, reservoirs, pipettes, pipette tips, cell culture tubes, centrifuge tubes, and PCR strips. For a busy lab looking for reagents from various vendors, we have added Nucleotides, Isolation Kits, PCR Cleanup kits, DNA Extraction kits and Master Mix. Our basic lab product portfolio offers centrifuges, heating blocks, cooling blocks, bottletop dispensers, pipettes, water baths, thermal cyclers, and incubators.
