Webinars

Xtalks & Samplix webinar : Adoptive Cell Therapy Exploring and Influencing Heterogeneity of TILs and CAR T Cells

Discover this fantastic webinar done in collaboration with Thomas Hulen, from the National Center for Cancer Immune Therapy, Herlev Hospital, Denmark

By watching this webinar you'll learn about:

  • How TIL and CAR T cell phenotypes vary both between and within patients.
  • Checkpoint disruption during TIL production can result in the downstream alterations of TILs.
  • Bulk CAR T cells possibly have subpopulations with variable anti-tumor potency.
  • How our Xdrop single-cell format workflow helps identify these subpopulations.

Xdrop double-emulsion droplet production

See how straightforward it is to encapsulate your sample (e.g., cells or DNA fragments) in double-emulsion (DE) droplets. In the video, an Xdrop DE50 Cartridge is loaded with natural killer cells and lymphoblasts, which are then encapsulated for a cell-killing assay in single-cell format. Droplets will contain a natural killer cell, a lymphoblast, or both cell types; some will be empty. The droplets with a single cell or no cells act as controls.

Xdrop Sort double-emulsion droplet sorting

See how straightforward it is to sort your sample (e.g., microbial cells or DNA fragments) when it is encapsulated in double-emulsion (DE) droplets. Pipette the droplets and media into the Xdrop DE20 Sort Cartridge and start your run on Xdrop Sort. In the video, an Xdrop DE20 Sort Cartridge is loaded with droplets containing DNA fragments. Sorting occurs based on fluorescence. You can adjust the detection threshold to ensure you capture all of your precious sample.
