The Department of Chemistry at Georgia State University is delighted to host the 41 st annual Biological Stain Commission conference in August 5th, 2022. The goals of the 2022 41 st Biological Stain Commission Conference (BSC) are to highlight the latest developments and innovations in fluorescence field, as they pertain to contemporary academic, and medical applications. The BSC meeting will include; biological use of dyes/stains, the synthesis of fluorescent sensors and probes, FRET, fluorescence microscopy, fluorescent nanoparticles, fluorescent bioassays, fluorescence - based DNA technologies, fluorescent proteins, multiphoton  luorescence, and confocal techniques.

The Biological Stain Commission (BSC) is recognized around the world as a quality control reference laboratory that certifies stains used in histology, biological, and research laboratories. The BSC strives to ensure the quality of dyes through independent testing according to appropriately rigorous chemical and  erformance criteria; promote cooperation and dialogue among manufacturers, vendors, and users of dyes for histochemical applications; educate users of biological stains about sources of reliable dyes and how they might best be used; and to publish information concerning new or improved uses for biological staining with dyes and related histochemical techniques in our peer-reviewed PubMed indexed  journal, Biotechnic & Histochemistry, a journal of microtechnique and histochemistry.
