Duration: Approximately 2 hours, with Q&A sessions, and a break, during which you have the chance to win prizes in an online quiz. Western blot and antibody questions can be sent in advance to [email protected]
Technique: Western blot is used in laboratories working with protein detection in complex mixes, as well as protein quantification.
Suitable for: Beginners and experienced users of this technique, working various types of samples, including bacterial extracts, plant tissue and algal cell cultures.
About the presenter: Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz Asplund, Technical Support Manager at Agrisera, has been working with antibody validation for over 20 years, and has troubleshooted hundreds of blots, which has allowed her to gain extensive experience, and an overview on potential difficulties and ways to address them. She is responsible for technical support at Agrisera, and will be happy to share her knowledge during the workshop.

"Thank you very much for the excellent workshop last week. I’ve never done protein work before, but I feel like I learned a lot from you and I’m much more confident to give it a try."
"Thanks for the excellent talk and sharing your experience on Western. I found it very useful." – The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, USA
"Our PhD students highly estimated the knowledge and practical advices they gained from the workshop. PhD students also highly appreciated the interesting format of the workshop. They are grateful for preparing a presentation especially for them, based on their questions and problems related to the use of the Western blot technique. A nice surprise was the quiz that allowed the PhD students to test their knowledge in a stress-free way and win a prize. Thank you also for the supporting materials provided by Agrisera." Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences.
