Beacon Platform: Revolutionizing Single-Cell Functional Analysis

Wednesday 9th September 2026, 1:00pm to 4:15pm

Swann Lecture Theatre, Michael Swann Building, King's Buildings Campus, University of Edinburgh, EH9 3BF

An in-person seminar at the Edinburgh Genome Foundry exploring how Bruker's Beacon Optofluidics platform enables researchers to explore multimodal and temporal cellular responses in real time, linking functional data to sequencing.



Beacon showcase at Edinburgh Genome Foundry

The seminar will focus on the capabilities in single-cell functional analysis at the Edinburgh Genome Foundry. 

The Beacon has workflows dedicated to antibody discovery, T cell/CAR-T cell screening, clonal selection and single cell mRNA SEQ. 

Learn how the Beacon is being applied in therapeutic antibody discovery, vaccine development, cell line development, and cell therapy innovation.
