The workshop and who took part

The workshop formed the August session of the PrimaNexus Workshop Series 2016. It ran over one morning, in a seminar room and in the Fungal Biotechnology Lab of the Institute. Registration closed on 24 August 2016, and places were given on a first come, first served basis. Two members of the Prima Nexus life science team led the programme, and participants received certificates of attendance.

What the programme covered

The morning opened with a short introduction to ELISA. Participants then followed each stage of an assay at the bench: preparing reagents, standards and samples, incubation, plate washing, adding the substrate, a second incubation, adding the stop solution and measuring absorbance. A talk on multiplex immunoassays ran during the first incubation. The session closed with data analysis, followed by lunch.

Prima Nexus's part

Prima Nexus organised the workshop and issued the certificates of attendance. The programme took participants through a complete ELISA run in a working lab, from preparing samples to reading and analysing the results. Researchers who need this kind of assay work today can read about Prima Nexus's ELISA and multiplex immunoassay services.
