Webinars

Long-read sequencing is transforming neurodegenerative disease research by enabling the detection of complex genetic variants such as structural variations, repeat expansions, and epigenetic features.

In this webinar, Target ALS will share why they chose PacBio HiFi sequencing for sequencing up to 6,000 genomes in the largest ALS genomics study to date. Learn how HiFi long-read data is revealing hidden variants missed by short reads—and how open access to this data is accelerating global ALS research.

• Gain insight into the goals, scope, and scientific potential of the largest long-read ALS genomics initiative to date.
• Learn how PacBio HiFi sequencing was selected for its unique ability to detect complex variants — critical for advancing ALS research.
• Discover solutions that deliver the accuracy, throughput, and scalability required for population-scale studies.

Environmental air specialists face increasing challenges in monitoring volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs). Evolving regulatory demands and complex compound lists both increase complexity of sampling and analysis.  From hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) to emerging contaminants like PFAS and microplastics, the need to deliver accurate, reliable data with robust, future-proof methods is greater than ever.

In this webinar, Markes’ environmental expert, Aaron Davies, will explore how advanced techniques for thermal desorption–GC–MS, including a range of sorbent and whole air samplers, simplify VOC monitoring and enhance data confidence. Attendees will learn how these methodologies address key challenges, aid compliance with stringent regulations, and provide a scalable solution for environmental air monitoring of a wide range of compounds. Discover how to future-proof your analytical workflows and stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field.

On-site chemistry analysis has been a more and more important task of today’s FTIR spectroscopy.  Agilent’s Handheld FTIR spectrometer is a unique and innovative platform for measuring samples on site to yield fast and reliable chemistry analyses.  The ergonomically-designed handheld systems can handle tough sampling situations in which the samples are difficult to be reached by traditional FTIR spectrometers.  The versatile system is equipped with variety of accessories such as ATR, Specular Reflection and Diffusive Reflection, making minor-damage or even non-invasive testing practical.
