In addition, Lonza is supporting a roundtable discussion on advanced in vitro cancer models for drug discovery and development.

Automated Solutions for QC Testing

At SLAS2018 Lonza’s QC testing experts will be on hand to demonstrate how the WinKQCL™ Endotoxin Detection and Analysis Software can interface with multiple robotic systems to provide a single database for data storage, management and reporting that complies with data-integrity regulations. At the Lonza booth, the team will also demonstrate how Lonza’s MODA™ Solution can automate environmental monitoring, product testing and trending to help laboratories to move away from labor-intensive and error-prone paper reporting.

Scaling up Transfection for Drug Discovery
Lonza will showcase how its Nucleofector™ Technology enables efficient, sterile transfection of primary cells, stem cells and cell types that previously have been difficult to transfect. Also at Booth 534, Lonza’s experts will demonstrate how the HT-Nucleofector™ Device can be combined with liquid-handling systems to automate transfection protocols, reducing the need for manual pipetting and helping to mitigate ergonomic stress. In addition, Lonza’s innovative Nucleofector™ Devices allow transfection protocols to be scaled up without the need for reoptimization.
