Detecting rare antigen-specific T-cell responses requires assays that are both sensitive and scalable. Traditional methods like flow cytometry often struggle with high-throughput needs or with preserving precious sample material.

In this episode of Listen In, you’ll discover how ELISpot and FluoroSpot assays overcome these challenges. These cell-based immunoassays measure cytokine and antibody secretion at the single-cell level, offering a sensitive, robust, and accessible way to capture rare immune responses.

You’ll learn how ELISpot and FluoroSpot can be applied in vaccine studies, biotherapeutic evaluation, and cell and gene therapy development. The episode also explores practical guidance on assay setup and execution, the advantages of multiplex cytokine detection with FluoroSpot, and how these platforms can be qualified for use in preclinical and clinical trials.

With their unique combination of sensitivity and ease of use, ELISpot and FluoroSpot provide a valuable alternative to flow cytometry, especially when high throughput and efficient data collection are priorities.

In the life sciences, an astounding amount of unused products and materials end up in landfills instead of contributing to research progress. This issue arises across the product lifecycle, from liquidated biotech start-ups that abandon equipment to over-purchasing and pipeline deprioritization at successful firms. Even well-intentioned suppliers encounter forecasting challenges that leave perfectly good items discarded!

In this episode of Listen In, explore the root causes of waste in our industry, as we draw on real-world examples of failed companies, discontinued pipelines, and canceled orders. We will examine the ripple effects this has on both operational efficiency and the broader sustainability goals of life science organizations.

We will also introduce Wasteless Bio, a dedicated marketplace designed to keep high-quality, unused products in circulation—helping researchers access discounted reagents and instruments while reducing environmental impact.

Whether you are a biotech executive, lab manager, or supplier, you will gain a clearer understanding of how to rescue valuable resources from the trash and reinvest them back into scientific innovation.

Automated counting of certain cell types is notoriously challenging due to their irregular shapes, variable nuclei number, autofluorescence, and often high amounts of debris in samples.

However, with the latest developments in cell-counting hardware and app technology, automated counting of even challenging cells is simpler than ever.

In this episode, see how you can achieve reliable automated cell counts with the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter.

Using hepatocytes as an example, you will learn how the machine learning technology integrated into DeNovix’s Hepatocyte app can save time, reduce human error, and provide consistent results.
