Zeiss LSM Confocal Microscope Presentation
CQLS is looking into replacing their older confocal microscopy system. Come and learn about one of the newer systems available and see if your research could benefit from this technology. The local Zeiss Microscopy team will be presenting a seminar focused on advancing your research using the latest Zeiss technology in super-resolution, live-cell, confocal imaging. If auto-fluorescence, phototoxicity or insufficient resolution has affected your ability to complete your experiment, come learn about how their LSM with Airyscan2 can overcome those challenges.
Zachary Ellsworth will be on campus for the presentation. Please stop by ALS 3005 to meet him. He'd like to learn more about your research and see how they can work together to move your imaging projects forward.
Leica Stellaris Confocal Microscope System
Leica Microsystems will be presenting a seminar on their Stellaris Confocal Microscope System. CQLS is looking into replacing their older confocal microscopy system. Come and learn about one of the newer systems available and see if your research could benefit from this technology.

Introducing the NextSeq™ 1000/2000
CQLS Core Lab has used the NextSeq 2000 instrument since June 2021, but with COVID restrictions, we have not officially introduced it - until now. Illumina is hosing an in-person seminar and Q&A about this instrument and applications.
Speaker: Pamela Lussier, Sr. Sales Specialist, Illumina
Date: Wednesday May 24, 2023
Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm.
Location: ALS 4001
Talk followed by Q&A Session
Lunch will be provided
Registration is Required
Illumina will discuss how the unique features and capabilities of the NextSeq™ 1000 and 2000 can open avenues to new applications and methods to further your research. Whether you are working with shotgun metagenomics, RNA Sequencing, single cell methods, spatial transcriptomics, or other applications, come learn how NextSeq™ 1000/2000 can benefit
your lab.
Event Objectives
- Understand the features and benefits of the NextSeq™ 1000/2000 instruments including increased flexibility and scalability provided by multiple flow cell and read length configurations, improved efficiency due to streamlined cartridge and reagent designs as well as onboard analysis through DRAGEN™, and improved cost benefits due to higher throughput than past mid-throughput Illumina platforms.
- Learn about various potential applications enabled by the NextSeq™ 1000/2000 instruments and see example comprehensive workflows for each. Join our LIVE event followed by a Q&A session where we will discuss how the unique features and capabilities of the NextSeq™ 1000 and 2000 can open avenues to new applications and methods to further your research. Whether you are working with shotgun metagenomics, RNA Sequencing, single cell methods, spatial transcriptomics, or other applications, come learn how NextSeq™ 1000/2000 can benefit your lab.
