xMAP technology is coming to a city near you!
Luminex will be conducting a Regional Seminar Series throughout 2008, and we invite you to come and learn about Luminex xMAP technology from researchers in your local area. Also, hear from Luminex and kit providers on powerful xMAP-based tools and cutting edge applications.
These xSAMPLES seminars will be single-day events in strategic locations near biotech, pharma, and healthcare hubs. The format will typically be three to four local xMAP technology end-users each giving a technical presentation, with partner product presentations incorporated into the seminar schedule. The xSAMPLES Regional Seminars bring together world class end-user speakers, partner exhibits, and poster displays.
These seminars are FREE to attend, and lunch will be provided to all attendees.
