Oxford Global, a leader in bringing cutting-edge meetings and events to the Life Sciences industry is sponsoring an exciting new webinar with the CSO of Purigen Biosystems. On Wednesday, May 27 @ 11:00 AM EST (8:00 AM PST), Klint Rose, Ph.D., Purigen Biosystems' CSO and Co-founder will discuss the benefits of a revolutionary nucleic acid purification system on FFPE samples in his presentation titled, “Higher Quality Nucleic Acid Extraction from FFPE Tissue and Other Challenging Samples Using the Ionic™ Purification System”.

FFPE challenges

FFPE tissue and samples with a low abundance of high-quality nucleic acid represent a bottleneck in sample preparation workflows. Researchers and clinicians working with these samples are often required to use labor-intensive methods to isolate enough material for downstream analyses. Such methods often include steps with the potential to introduce bias or produce material with lower quantity and quality. In this webinar, Dr. Rose will discuss that data from the Ionic™ Purification System used to purify nucleic acid from challenging sample types including FFPE tissue and low quantities of cells. The results from quality assessments and downstream NGS will be discussed.

The Ionic system provides relief to FFPE challenges

Here are some insights that will be explored in this webinar. Dr. Rose will also expound on how the Ionic system directly addresses these challenges.

1. FFPE tissue and samples with a low abundance of high-quality nucleic acid represent a bottleneck in sample preparation workflows.
2. Researchers and clinicians working with these samples are often required to use labor-intensive methods to isolate enough material for downstream analyses.
3. Traditional methods often include steps with the potential to introduce bias or produce material with lower quantity and quality.

Everyone is invited!

Anyone interested in solving common challenges with FFPE samples or anyone curious how a simple charge-based DNA extraction is transforming the sample prep industry is invited to register and attend this event.
