Hello:
I wanted to make sure you were aware of our free cell culture training webinars (remaining 2007schedule is below) in case
you or any of your colleagues would like to attend. The trainings are one hour in length and all attendees receive a
certificate of completion. The webinars are co-hosted by ATCC.
The next event, Detecting, Removing and Managing Mycoplasma Contamination, is on Tuesday (repeats on Wednesday).
Feel free to register online and/or forward this invitation to other colleagues.
Regards,
Maryanne DeChambeau
Marketing Manager, Corning

| Scientific Seminar Series
Co-sponsored by ATCC | Detecting, Removing and Managing Mycoplasma Contamination
Sept 18th - 12 to 1:00 pm EST; Repeats Sept 19th - 10 to 11am EST
Mycoplasma contamination is a serious and very widespread cell culture problem yet it can be effectively managed without great difficulty or expense. This webinar will review the history of mycoplasma contamination, methods for detecting and eliminating it, as well as simple and easy strategies to employ to prevent it from becoming a problem in your research program. Register HeLa Cells - A Blessing or a Curse? Are Your Cell Lines Contaminated?
Oct 16th - 12 to 1:00 pm EST; Repeats Oct 17th - 10 to 11am EST
HeLa cells were isolated in the early 1950s and within 10 years had helped change the way cell culture was done. Unfortunately, during this same period, HeLa cells contaminated most of the other available cell lines. Today many researchers are still using HeLa contaminated cell lines. However, this world-wide problem of cross-contamination of cell lines by other cell lines is not limited to just HeLa cells. This webinar will cover methods for detecting cross contamination, as well as simple and easy to employ strategies to prevent it from happening to your research program. Register Solving Cell Culture Problems
Nov 13th - 12 to 1:00 pm EST; Repeats Nov 14th - 10 to 11am EST
Problems and cell culture seem to go together, perhaps because cell culture is a living tool. If not effectively dealt with, these problems can result in culture loss and erroneous data, disrupt research and lead to personal embarrassment. Approaches for managing these problems will be discussed with special attention given to problems with culture media, cell attachment and incubators. Register Polio: How Cell Culture Solved the Problem and Started the Bioprocess Industry
Dec 11 - 12 to 1:00 pm EST; Repeats Dec 12th - 10 to 11am EST
Polio epidemics swept cities in North America almost every summer until Jonas Salk and his team developed the first successful vaccine in the early 1950s. This webinar will cover the breakthroughs that enabled researchers to mass produce the virus and conquer this dread disease. In doing so, they laid the foundation for a bioprocess industry that now produces cell-based vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and drugs worth tens of billions of dollars annually.
