Workshop

Last week we organized two dynamic single-molecule workshops in the North and South of China – one at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and another at  Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU). Both workshops included in-depth lectures exploring different state-of-the-art single-molecule applications and hands-on demonstrations of the C-Trap® Optical Tweezers – Fluorescence & Label-free Microscopy technologies. With…

Last week, LUMICKS organized a successful Dynamic Single-Molecule Workshop at our headquarters in Amsterdam. Throughout the workshop, the participants explored different state-of-the-art single-molecule applications and attended various technology presentations and discussion. Also, Prof. Sander Tans (AMOLF) presented his studies with optical tweezers, analyzing a possible direct or indirect role of chaperone proteins in the folding…

The first dynamic single-molecule workshop of the year just came to an end! Last week, 16 participants got to experience the C-Trap® Optical Tweezers – Fluorescence Microscope to investigate DNA mechanics and do experiments using their own samples. Additionally, the workshop included lectures from Prof. Bo Sun, during which he discussed his…

During the end of October, we organized two single-molecule workshops at the Rockefeller University, NY, and our headquarters in Amsterdam. The participants in Amsterdam had the great opportunity to attend an inspiring lecture given by Prof. Mattias Rief (Technical University of Munich), while Dr. Michael Wasserman (Rockefeller University) and Dr. Arne Gennerich…

During June 4-5, a captivating single-molecule workshop was given at the headquarters of LUMICKS in Amsterdam. Throughout the workshop, the participants were introduced to our second-generation (G2 line) apparatus and got the chance to perform multiple investigations on them. We started off with the C-trap™, our optical tweezers-fluorescence microscope, and…

A successful Single-molecule workshop took place on April 17 to 18 at the Rockefeller University in New York, organized by LUMICKS. During the practical hands-on workshop, the participants performed state-of-the-art single-molecule experiments to examine DNA mechanics, repair, and DNA molecular motors. They also attended demonstrations given by our application scientists on the latest developments and…

On April 9 to 11, a successful Single-molecule workshop took place in the lab of Prof. Bo Sun at the ShanghaiTech University, organized by LUMICKS. During the practical hands-on workshop, the participants conducted state-of-the-art single-molecule experiments in the fields of DNA mechanics, repair, and molecular motors. They also had the chance to…

On October 23-25, LUMICKS organized two fruitful workshops on Optical Tweezers-Fluorescence Microscopy & Acoustic Force Spectroscopy at our headquarters in Amsterdam. The practical hands-on workshops included demonstrations on the latest developments and applications of the C-Trap® and  AFS™, given by our application scientists. In addition, the participants performed state-of-the-art single-molecule experiments and…
