Live-Cell Metabolic Profiling

Measure what’s important to your cells

Agilent Seahorse cell metabolism assays detect discrete changes in cell bioenergetics in real-time, opening a window into the pathways providing the energy and fuels that drive critical cell functions, such as differentiation, proliferation, activation, and cell death. You can move beyond analyzing what your cells are and reveal a clearer picture of what they do.

More than 6’800 publications underpin the value and impact of Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) technology and demonstrate that mitochondrial function and glycolytic activity play critical roles in all cellular processes.

Join us as an existing XF user or as a researcher interested in the technology to learn how Seahorse XF analysis enables the understanding and control of cell phenotypes and function. Get to know your peers and their projects and receive feedback for your own data.

• Closing Remarks and Discussion, as well as Coffee & Farewell

Multiple coffee breaks will allow you to interact with colleagues, the speakers and with fellow researchers from academic and industrial institutions.

The seminar will comprise overview presentations, keynote lectures, discussions, workshops, and presentations of user data. Coffee breaks and lunch time will allow for interesting interactions with your peers and exchange with users of the Seahorse XF Analyzer.

Our customers will learn about the latest developments at Agilent Seahorse, and enjoy discussing practical issues when designing and running assays, as well as deepen their knowledge on tools to understand metabolism.

Who should attend

All researchers actively involved or interested in entering the field of functional cell metabolism, as well as current users of Seahorse XF technology for a comprehensive update on the technology and an info exchange with fellow researchers.

Bucher Biotec AG represents some of the most advanced manufacturers of highly innovative life science research instrumentation.
