Greiner Bio-One GmbH, a leading technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industry, will be continuing its series of web-based live seminars in autumn 2011 after the successful launch in April. Participants will be able to follow lectures online on topics such as "Microscopy and live cell imaging", "Embryonic stem cell cultivation" and "Optimising parameters for ELISA in microplates". The webinars will be held in English and, for the first time, in German, too. 

The launch of the new series of webinars from Greiner Bio-One GmbH in April 2011 was a resounding success, with 160 participants following the first lecture. This success comes as no surprise to Managing Director Heinz Schmid: "A webinar enables our customers - universities, research institutes as well as pharmaceutical and biotech companies throughout the world - to get information in real time and, above all, regardless of where they are located. In April, we welcomed participants from 25 countries, notably from the U.S., Canada and Asia, but also from South Africa and New Zealand." In Schmid's view, this kind of event greatly facilitates communication for customers and other interested parties, particularly for new, highly innovative applications, because participants can not only experience the presentations live but also ask the speakers questions directly.

Owing to high demand from German-speaking customers, the latest webinars will be held in both English and German. Registration is free via the Greiner Bio-One website:  www.gbo.com/bioscience/webinar

Previous webinars can be accessed online.
