Technology videoClick-iT Plus EdU Proliferation Assay 
Measuring DNA synthesis is the most precise way to detect changes in cell proliferation. Image-based proliferation assays generate spatial and temporal results that can not be detected with other methods. This video describes and compares two of the most referenced image-based proliferation technologies.

WebinarAn introduction to flow cytometric analysis, Part 2: Cell viability and apoptosis analysis 
In this free webinar, we will discuss flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis and identification of dead cells. Changes introduced by apoptosis can be tested with numerous assays measuring membrane structure, mitochondrial function, metabolism, caspase activity, membrane integrity, and DNA fragmentation. We will also discuss dead cell identification using traditional impermeant nucleic acid dyes.

WebinarFlow cytometry in microbiological research 
In recent years the application of flow cytometry in microbiological research has expanded from detection and quantification of organisms to more complex studies including analysis of host-microbe interactions and detailed spatial and temporal analysis of microbial metabolism in different environments. During this webinar we will discuss how the multi-parametric nature of flow cytometry can be applied to microbiology and the advantages of using this application over traditional microbiological methods.
