We invite all fans of chromatography, spectroscopy and molecular and cell biology to our traditional Agilent Technologies News and Trends seminar, which will take place on November 9th, 2022 both in person at the Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague and online, as the lectures from Liquid and Gas chromatography and Atomic and molecular spectroscopy will also be streamed. The Molecular and Cell Biology and Microscopy section will be face-to-face only this year.

This year’s seminar will be divided into 3 sections, namely Gas and Liquid Chromatography, Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy and Genomics and Cell Biology and Microscopy, which will be extended by a demo room dedicated to Nikon microscopes and bioinformatics consultations.

Participation in the seminar is free.

Date: 9 th November 2022 from 9.00 a.m., registration from 8.15 a.m.
Place: in person at the Clarion Congress Hotel Prague
Online: login to the stream channel on the day of the seminar – it will be published here and at the same time all registered users will be sent a login link to the specified e-mail

We are preparing a program for you.
