Hours 9am-5pm EST

ECIS Application Webinar Series


ECIS is used in over 160 labs worldwide, and ECIS data has been published in a growing list of over 700 peer-reviewed publications.

ECIS electrically monitors cell morphological changes and provides quantitative, real-time measurements of cell motility, attachment and spreading, and barrier function. Experimental protocols include studies of cell-integrin interactions, metastatic invasion, signal transduction, and cell migration (via automated wound/healing).

The ECIS Application Webinar series will review the topics listed below in 20-minute, web-based, interactive seminars. To expand your knowledge of ECIS, register for a webinar below.

2023 Webinar Schedule

Cell Invasion / Extravasation Assays – 11:00 AM EDT

October 3, 2023

This webinar will review ECIS as it is used to monitor endothelial monolayers as they are challenged with metastatic cell lines. Extravasation of these layers can be followed in real time to provide quantitative data regarding the metastatic potential of the cancer cells.

Register

Automated Cell Migration – 11:00 AM EDT

October 17, 2023

The ECIS Wound Healing Assay replaces the traditional "scratch" or "scrape" assay. Instead of disrupting the cell layer mechanically with a needle or pipette tip and following the migration of cells to "heal" the wound with a microscope, we employ electric signals to both wound and monitor the healing process. We will also describe a novel and new approach to this measurement called the “electric fence”. This webinar will review the basic principles of ECIS and then present quantitative data regarding these automated assays.

Barrier Function Assays – 11:00 AM EDT

October 31, 2023

This webinar will review ECIS and then show how complex impedance measurements can be used to evaluate the barrier function (permeability) of confluent endothelial monolayers. The ability of ECIS data to be mathematically modeled will be briefly introduced.

Real-time Electroporation and Monitoring – 11:00 AM EST

November 14, 2023

ECIS can be used to electroporate cells and then to immediately follow the results of the electroporation in real-time. This unique feature of the ECIS technology will be described in this webinar and sample data presented.

ECIS Theory – 11:00 AM EST

November 28, 2023

This webinar will provide an overview of the use of impedance (both simple and complex) to detect cell morphological changes. Emphasis will be placed on the use of different AC frequencies to distinguish cell parameters.

Cell Invasion / Extravasation Assays – 11:00 AM EST

December 12, 2023

This webinar will review ECIS as it is used to monitor endothelial monolayers as they are challenged with metastatic cell lines. Extravasation of these layers can be followed in real time to provide quantitative data regarding the metastatic potential of the cancer cells.
