Onchip Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.
Free webinar information “Development of a new bacteriophage acquisition method using water-in-oil (w/o) droplet technology” January 25th (Thursday) 16:00 ~
Droplet related part 7! OnChip Biotechnologies Original Webinar ……
OnChip Biotechnologies focuses on flow cytometers using microfluidic technology. We are a company that mainly specializes in the analysis and isolation culture of cells, microorganisms, and droplets.
We are currently holding regular webinars inviting users of on-chip products. Focusing on the research content of the researchers, we also include comments from people who have actually used the equipment.
We hope to provide a place for discussion during the lecture. This time, we have decided to give a lecture for people who are interested in droplet technology.
We would appreciate it if you could join us.
*Advance reservations are required, so please make your reservations early.

■7th Droplet related OnChip Biotechnologies original webinar Date and time: January 25th (Thursday) 16:00-17:00
Title: “Development of a new bacteriophage acquisition method using water-in-oil (w/o) droplet technology”
Speaker: The University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, Department of Medical Information and Biotechnology, Department of Biofunctional Molecular Engineering
Miwa Hoshino
Summary:
Bacteriophage (hereinafter referred to as phage) is a virus that infects and multiplies bacteria.
Until now, plaque assays have been used to detect and acquire phages, but There are limitations such as the necessity of plate culture of host cells and the time it takes to obtain results.
Aiming to overcome these limitations, we developed a phage acquisition method using w/o droplet technology.
In this study, by co-cultivating host bacteria and model phages in w/o droplets, Propagate phages inside droplets. Phage proliferation is detected by fluorescently staining the phages.
Droplets in which phage proliferation was thought to have occurred were collected one by one.
By destroying these droplets and collecting phages,
We confirmed that phage multiplication was actually occurring within the droplets.
