These days are great personal development, sharing and networking opportunities. With a focus on improving, refreshing and updating Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry knowledge.

Led by our highly experienced scientists, between them possessing over a century of experience - the participants benefit from lectures and analytical instrumentation sessions.

Designed to be informative, educational and non-vendor specific, QA, QC, Analysts, Technicians, Researchers, Academics, Post Doc’s & Students have all benefited from attending.

The registration for each day will be opened from 9am with the first seminar commencing at 9.30am. The courses will finish at 4.30pm. Lunch will be provided to all participants.
