Aurion ImmunoGold Silver Staining Workshops
Pre Microscopy & Microanalysis 2010 Workshop
House Ear Institute
Los Angeles, California
July 28-30 , 2010
The objective of the course is to provide researchers with the opportunity to learn the theory and practice of immunogold labeling. Participants will process their own samples under the expert guidance of Mr. Peter van de Plas and Dr. Paul Webster. Mr van de Plas has been with Aurion since 1991 and has been involved with product applications and workshops, and is recognized for his through knowledge of the immunogold silver staining techniques. Dr. Webster is head of Ahmanson Advanced EM & Imaging Center at the at the House Ear Institute and is widely known for his expertise in immunolabeling and applying electron microscopy to biomedical research problems.
During a 3 day training the theoretical and practical aspects of the most up-to-date methods and applications will be dealt with both for light and electron microscopy.
Preferentially participants work with their own specimens and primary antibodies so that applicability and advantages of the ImmunoGold Silver Staining technique are maximally exploited by each individual participant. Personal attention provides for optimum broadening of knowledge which is of permanent advantage in individual daily work situations in terms of time savings and improvements
