Empowering Gene Editing Workflows: Real-Time Electroporation & Off-Target Analysis

Join us for a dynamic lunch-hour workshop designed for gene editing researchers eager to explore the latest in non-viral delivery and precision genome engineering. This session features a live demonstration of the MaxCyte® platform, showcasing its high-performance electroporation technology, followed by a scientific presentation on SeQure DX™, our advanced analytics solution for off-target detection and genome integrity assessment.

Led by our expert scientists, this session will:

  • Demonstrate real-time transfection using the MaxCyte system

  • Highlight how SeQure DX enables confident decision-making through sensitive, scalable off-target analysis

  • Provide insights into how these technologies work together to accelerate therapeutic development

Whether you're optimizing CRISPR workflows or scaling up for clinical manufacturing, this workshop will offer practical takeaways and live data to support your gene editing programs.

Lunch will be provided. Seating is limited—reserve your spot early!
