Agrisera international, online, Western blot workshop

On the 7th of December, Agrisera conducted an online Western blot workshop together with our distributor in the UK and Ireland, Newmarket Scientific. The workshop was originally dedicated to researchers from the UK and Ireland, but was later opened for worldwide participation. Researchers from 13 countries all around the world joined Agrisera online event. We had the pleasure to connect with researchers from Australia, Japan, India, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, Portugal, France, UK, Germany, Croatia, Canada and the US.

The workshop was presented by Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund, Agrisera's Technical Support Manager. Joanna shared her extensive knowledge and vast exprience of 20+ years of using this widely employed protein analysis technique.

The workshop consisted of two parts, including a 10 minute break for coffee and the Agrisera Antibody and Western blot Quizzes, which were very well attended. Many interesting questions were asked.

Participants also had a chance to win an Agrisera high-titer secondary antibody and 2 ECL reagents, in quizzes with questions about antibodies and the Western blot technique.

Each participant of the workshop received a pdf of the presentation with links to additional information, as well as the recording of the workshop for the future use.

Some feedback which we received after the workshop:

"The workshop was fascinating; I did not know many details about Western. It was fun!"

"Thank you for all the insights and your expertise ! I will try to convince everyone using the Western blot technique in my lab to optimize their protocol instead of using always the same one !"

"Thank you very much for all the helpful information. "

"The ppt. was very helpful and informative. "

Agrisera Prize at Ume� Plant Science Centre 2023

Our warmest congratulations to Dr. Marta Derba-Maceluch who received the 2023 Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) Agrisera Prize!

Marta was awarded the prize to acknowledge her significant contributions in cell wall biochemistry research, her dedication to provide excellent technical support for users of the UPSC Microscopy Facility, and her commitment to maintain a safe work environment at UPSC.

The UPSC Agrisera Prize is awarded every year to a person working at UPSC, and this year's prize was announced on the 6th of December during the traditional UPSC Christmas Celebration.

Every year, anyone working at UPSC can nominate a colleague for the award. Based on the written nominations, the members of the UPSC board vote to select the winner, and the prize is a travel voucher, sponsored by Agrisera.

"The prize gives us the opportunity to thank our personnel for their work and commitment. It is always very difficult to choose between the candidates, as they all highly deserve this prize," says Rishikesh Bhalerao who announced the winner of the prize this year.
