Beckman Coulter Workshop Lunch 12:30 – 2:00 pm Room J4<br />
Beckman Coulter, Inc.<br />
4300 N. Harbor Boulevard<br />
Fullerton, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia 92834<br />
The Use of Beckman Coulter’s Biomek ® <strong>Laboratory</strong> Aut<strong>omation</strong> Workstations <strong>for</strong> Proteomic<br />
Applications<br />
Presenters: Laura Pajak, Ph.D. <strong>and</strong> Michael Simonian, Ph.D.<br />
This workshop describes various techniques commonly used in proteomics research. We have broken down the<br />
processes involved into four main areas:<br />
• Sample Preparation (Centrifugation)<br />
• Protein Identification /Proteome Profiling (2D HPLC, MALDI TOF, PA 800)<br />
• Protein Characterization (DNA prep, His Tag purification, ELISA)<br />
• Protein Function (Cell Probes, Cell Preparation, Protein Protein interaction, Bacterial 2 hybrid system)<br />
We will discuss each of these areas <strong>and</strong> describe where the use of Beckman Coulter aut<strong>omation</strong> workstations<br />
(Biomek 2000, Biomek 3000, Biomek NX, Biomek FX) is beneficial. The use of aut<strong>omation</strong> to improve throughput,<br />
reproducibility <strong>and</strong> data quality will be described.<br />

Advances in Microfluidic <strong>Screening</strong> Assays<br />
Presenters: Walter Ausserer <strong>and</strong> Javier Farinas<br />
Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip screening assays have been developed <strong>for</strong> many target classes, including protein<br />
kinases, protein phosphatases, proteases, lipid kinases, <strong>and</strong> GPCR’s. In this workshop, we will present details<br />
of novel screening assays developed within the past year. Emphasis will be placed upon new assays <strong>for</strong> protein<br />
kinase selectivity screening <strong>and</strong> calcium flux. We also will preview Caliper’s next-generation microfluidic screening<br />

JALA Prospective Authors Workshop 12:30 – 2:00 pm Room A8<br />
JALA Prospective Authors Workshop<br />
Presenter: Mark F. Russo, Ph.D., JALA Executive Editor<br />
Each year, ALA publishes six issues of JALA. The first half of this workshop focuses on how <strong>and</strong> why ALA<br />
me<strong>mbers</strong> can: showcase their work in this popular <strong>and</strong> highly regarded scientific journal, take advantage of JALA’s<br />
new online services <strong>for</strong> authors, <strong>and</strong> explore what volunteer opportunities exist <strong>for</strong> authors <strong>and</strong> other interested<br />
me<strong>mbers</strong>. The second half focuses on practical advice <strong>for</strong> preparing successful technical papers. Workshop<br />
is open to all conference attendees. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation contact: Journal of the Association <strong>for</strong> <strong>Laboratory</strong><br />
