IGSS Workshops
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 our tutors, who are experts in
Immuno Gold Silver Staining techniques.
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. The
set-up now also includes pre-embedding labeling.
Preferentially
participants work with their own specimens and primary antibodies so that
applicability and advantages of the Immuno Gold 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.
Reactions of
participants:
"We are
very enthusiastic and will most certainly persue this method!"
"The time for personal advice was excellent!"
"An abundance of practical info, built on the necessary theoretical
background!"
