Seminar How Qiagen Can Help Your Research

Seminar1

GeneCraft Labs mengadakan seminar berjudul How Qiagen Can Help Your Research di Ciputra World Surabaya Hotel pada Selasa (16/4/2019) serta di Grand Keisha Hotel by Horison Yogyakarta pada Selasa (9/7/2019). Bekerja sama dengan Qiagen, seminar ini mengundang Jeffrey Koh, MSc yang menjabat sebagai Market Development Manager, Southeast Asia sebagai pembicara.

Sesuai dengan visi Qiagen, Making Improvements in Life Possible, baik real-time atau quantitative PCR (qPCR), High Resolution Melting (HRM), maupun sequencing dengan pyrosequencing dari Qiagen ini sangat membantu dalam riset biologi molekuler yang melibatkan kegiatan pengurutan basa DNA.

Dengan real-time PCR, proses amplifikasi DNA itu sendiri dapat terlihat dengan jelas serta ­real time melalui primer probe yang digunakan sebagai indikatornya. Hal ini dapat menjadikan hasil PCR yang dikerjakan menjadi lebih cepat, efisien, sensitif, dan diharapkan tidak terjadi false positive dalam sampel yang ada.

Setelah itu, dijelaskan pula bahwa HRM bekerja secara cepat dan akurat dalam melihat serta menganalisis variasi urutan DNA dari titik leleh.

Teknologi HRM yang ada pada mesin real-time Qiagen, yakni Rotor-Gene Q, sangat mumpuni untuk melakukan analisis Single Nucleotide Polymorphisme (SNP) karena tidak hanya didukung oleh perangkat lunak yang ada, tetapi juga dari perangkat keras mesin itu sendiri.

Oleh karenanya, Rotor-Gene Q sangat sesuai untuk proses analisis genetika, karena dapat merangkap sebagai qPCR maupun HRM (khusus seri HRM priority-red) sehingga prosesnya tidak hanya cepat, tapi juga memiliki keakuratan yang tinggi.

Terakhir, dengan melakukan tahap pyrosequencing menggunakan PyroMark Q48 Autoprep, mengurutkan DNA menjadi lebih mudah berkat teknologi automasi yang tentunya akan membutuhkan lebh sedikit interaksi manual.

Tipe ini merupakan tipe sequencing terbaru yang dikeluarkan oleh Qiagen sebagai bentuk penyempurnaan tipe lamanya, Pyromark Q24. Dengan tipe baru ini, throughput yang dihasilkan per proses menjadi dua kali lipat dari sebelumnya yang hanya terdiri dari 24 sampel.

Acara ini juga membuka sesi testimonial yang diwakili oleh dua orang klien/pelanggan GeneCraft Labs. Keduanya memberi pandangan positif terhadap alat-alat Qiagen yang pernah dipakai berdasarkan kebutuhan latar belakang kerja masing-masing.

Sebanyak 100 orang peserta tampak antusias saat mendengarkan ulasan dari kedua klien/pelanggan tersebut. Bahkan, saat sesi diskusi dibuka, mereka tidak kalah semangat mengajukan maupun menjawab pertanyaan. Kepada para peserta yang aktif selama seminar, GeneCraft Labs memberikan kenang-kenangan menarik sebagai bentuk penghargaan.

Seminar How Qiagen Can Help Your Research

Seminar Qiagen

GeneCraft Labs held a seminar titled How Qiagen Can Help Your Research at Ciputra World Surabaya Hotel on Tuesday, April 4th, 2019 and at Grand Keisha Hotel by Horison Yogyakarta on Tuesday, July 9th, 2019. Collaborated with Qiagen, this time we invited Jeffrey Koh, MSc, a Market Development Manager, Southeast Asia of Qiagen as the speaker.

In accordance with Qiagen’s vision, Making Improvements in Life Possible, both real-time or quantitative PCR (qPCR), High Resolution Melting (HRM), or even sequencing with pyrosequencing from Qiagen is very helpful in molecular biology research involving DNA base sequencing activities. With real-time PCR, the DNA amplification process itself can be clearly seen and real time through the primary probe used as the indicator. This can make the PCR results that are done to be faster, more efficient, sensitive, and it is expected that there will be no false positives in existing samples. After that, it was also explained that HRM works quickly and accurately in viewing and analyzing variations in DNA sequences from melting points. HRM technology in the Qiagen real-time machine, Rotor-Gene Q, is very capable of analyzing Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) because it is not only supported by existing software, but also from the hardware of the machine itself. Therefore, Rotor-Gene Q is very suitable for the genetic analysis process, because it can double as qPCR or HRM (specifically the HRM priority-red series) so that the process is not only fast, but also has high accuracy. Finally, by performing the pyrosequencing stage using PyroMark Q48 Autoprep, sequencing DNA becomes easier thanks to automation technology which will certainly require fewer manual interactions. This type is the latest type of sequencing released by Qiagen as a form of old type refinement, Pyromark Q24. With this new type, the throughput produced per process is doubled from the previous one which only consisted of 24 samples.

This seminar also presented testimonial session by two GeneCraft Labs customers. Both of them gave positive feedbacks toward Qiagen products they had been used because those products truly suit their research needs and are really easy to use. There were 100 participants came and were excited listening to reviews from both customers. When the discussion session was opened, they were also really enthusiastic to participate. To the participants who were active during the seminar, GeneCraft Labs gave interesting souvenirs as a form of appreciation.
