Learn how the ZE5 Cell Analyzer advances the understanding of COVID-19



In this webinar, Dr Richard Cuthbert reviews how the ZE5 Cell Analyzer has been used in the fight against COVID-19. He discusses advances in the understanding of the disease and how flow cytometry is being used to develop new treatments. Finally, he highlights why Bio-Rad’s ZE5 Cell Analyzer is particularly suited for applications such as screening, antibody discovery, and vaccine development.

Topics covered:

  • The phases of disease progression
  • Prognostic factors ‒ lymphopenia and patient symptoms
  • T-cell polarization and responses
  • Treatments and antibody screens

Find out why the ZE5 Cell Analyzer is the right tool for this research.
