Chat With an Expert

Are you looking to troubleshoot your assays? Have questions about sample processing techniques and validating new products? Book a one-on-one appointment with a STEMCELL expert to find support for cell isolation upstream of assays ranging from flow cytometric crossmatch (FCXM), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) crossmatch, chimerism analysis, and more.

Karina McQueen
Karina McQueen, PhD
Principal Scientist, STEMCELL Technologies

I joined the Research and Development group at STEMCELL Technologies in 2005 after completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford with Dr. Peter Parham. With my MHC/HLA background, it was a natural transition to move from studying killer cell Immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) on NK cells to developing products that make routine testing in an HLA laboratory less laborious. For the past 16 years, I have developed numerous EasySep™ kits for use in crossmatch assays and chimerism testing.

Come and ask me any technical questions you have on product use, assay validation, and troubleshooting.

Michael Warnement, PhD
Regional Sales Manager, STEMCELL Technologies

I have been working closely with HLA labs in the central and southeastern United States for the past 13 years. I started out as a technical sales representative with STEMCELL Technologies immediately after completing my PhD in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. Within a month into this new role, I had completed my very first RoboSep demo for an HLA lab in Florida. As a designated HLA product specialist for our sales team, I've conducted demos in numerous HLA labs across the US and helped establish protocols for lymphocyte isolations for flow crossmatch applications. I am currently a regional sales manager for our cell separation product portfolio, covering a territory of 25 states in the central and southeastern United States.

Come and chat with me about how you can improve sample processing techniques for your crossmatch and engraftment monitoring assays.
