Liquid Handling Boot Camp:  A Hands-On Introduction to Lab Robotics

This intensive 1-day technical seminar is designed to assist those who use liquid handling robots in the biopharmaceutical, and other life science fields.  The course will teach students to recognize and understand the variables associated with gaining maximum performance out of their liquid handlers. 

This class will begin with a concise review of the science and theory of automated liquid handling.  Students will then have the opportunity to apply this knowledge in hands-on exercises with a variety of robotic liquid handlers using various liquids, seeing immediate liquid delivery performance data, and experimenting with different techniques.  

Liquid Handling Boot Camp has consistently been oversubscribed at Lab Automation so don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the experts.  Register Now with Liquid Handling Boot Camp
