LUNCH WORKSHOPS (Tramín hall)

BD Solutions for clinical diagnostics
During our first lunch workshop we will be hosting our application specialist Ivana Andrejčínová.
BD solution brings the standardization of leukemia and lymphoma immunophenotyping one step forward, improving laboratory efficiency and enabling reliability and accuracy of results for clinical decisions.
As the understanding and treatment of cancer evolves and improves, the importance of monitoring post-remission cancer survivors has become paramount to improving patient outcomes. By monitoring for MRD, low levels of cancer cells following treatment can be detected, alerting if the disease is still present or if there is a signal of recurrence. This is a key element of the patient care continuum that helps clinicians and physicians recognize when cancer recurs and aids in the timely treatment of patients.
Join BD during this lunch live session to learn more about our full portfolio of clinical solutions from instruments through reagents to analysis tools.

Launch of the BD FACSDiscover™ A8 Cell Analyzer
BD will be hosting Mark Dessing who will be running live remote session from Heidelberg on BD FACSDiscover™ A8 instrument.
BD FACSDiscover™ A8 Cell Analyzer is packed with groundbreaking innovations including BD SpectralFX™ Technology and BD CellView™ Image Technology. Our advanced spectral technology gives you increased flexibility by maximizing and simplifying the choice of fluorochromes detectable per laser. Obtain detailed information on cells with real-time imaging that was previously invisible in traditional flow cytometry experiments.
During this lunch session Mark will show live the main features of this new unique spectral cell analyzer. We will be broadcasting this live demo directly from our European Center for Single Cell Solutions in Heidelberg. Use this opportunity to get the true experience on the workflows and learn what is possible with this unique cell sorter.
