The Aurion Immuno Gold Silver Staining Workshop

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following event: The Aurion Immuno Gold Silver Staining Workshop

The objective of the course is to provide researchers with the opportunity to learn the theory and practice of Immuno Gold labeling. Participants will process their own samples under the expert guidance of our tutors, who are experts in Immuno Gold Silver Staining techniques.

During the workshop attendees will receive theory, including but not limited to immune detection, in situ hybridization, silver enhancement, as well as background issues. There will be time for practice, as well. Attendees will be able to work with their own specimens, as well as ones we will have prepared. A full review of incubation methods, testing of antigenicity and reactivity, complete principles of Immuno Gold labeling, and preparation of conjugates for EM and LM will be covered.
