AI-Assisted Nanomechanical AFM Analysis in a Multi-Compartment Environment
Join us and special guest speaker Dr. Upnishad Sharma, ETH Zurich, for this webinar on the AI-Assisted Analysis of the Nanomechanical Properties of Biological Samples in a Multi-Compartment Environment using AFM.
Recent developments have greatly extended the functionality of atomic force microscopes (AFM) to enable high resolution imaging and nanomechanical analysis in multiwell cell culture plates. This greatly extends the range, speed, and versatility of experiments possible, increases throughput and productivity, and generates statistically relevant datasets.
Discover next-generation capabilities:
- Autonomous AI-guided operation and advanced machine-learning capabilities for the automated identification and measurement of sample features
- Seamless integration with advanced optical microscopy
- Study living cells, tissues, 3d cell structures, and organoids under near-native conditions
Dr. Upnishad Sharma, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. Daniel Mueller, will speak on investigating integrin-mediated mechanosensing in the extracellular matrix (ECM) using AFM-based Single-Cell Force Spectroscopy (SCFS).
Don’t miss the LIVE demonstration, where we will perform nanomechanical AFM measurements using the new CellWizard Stage.
