The Latex Course
Bangs is proud to present the 18th offering of the popular international course "Designing Microsphere-Based Tests and Assays" to be held at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in beautiful Lake Buena Vista, Florida, from October 3 - 5, 2010. Topics covered in The Latex Course™ include polystyrene "latex" microsphere applications, such as latex agglutination tests and assays, as well as newer applications of "latex" and larger beads, such as high-throughput screening, flow cytometry, multiplex bead assays, and immunochromatographic rapid tests, plus fluorescent and superparamagnetic bead applications.
The course examines the basics of microsphere (latex) and magnetic particle-based diagnostic test development from research and development through manufacturing and production control. This broadly applicable technology is used in human healthcare screening tests and assays, veterinary and agricultural tests, assaying for toxic chemicals in foods, water, and the general environment, high throughput screening (HTS) in pharmaceutical research, flow cytometry, and molecular biology. The Latex Course™ provides a solid information base for those involved in this rapidly growing and evolving technology.
