On November 24th and 25th will be attending the European MicroCal Users’ Meeting 2015 organized by Malvern Instruments.
Our sales representant Dr. Juan Sabín will be there sharing ideas on new applications and challenges on Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) experiments and data analysis. We will be pleased to talkt to you. Contact us.
We are sharing the Workshop agenda publised in the Malvern website where you will find all information of the Workshop and registration.
