Workshop on Precision Liquid Handling 2022

Get excited, as CSEM’s and Toolpoint’s 5th networking workshop on Precision Liquid Handling is just around the corner! This workshop brings cutting-edge liquid-handling technologies to life. Participate. Network. Connect.

The handling of small amounts of liquids using innovative liquid handling systems (robotic, microfluidic, etc.) is reducing the consumption of reagents and costs for numerous laboratory and industrial applications. This increasing precision is the result of the miniaturization of fluidic and electronic systems. Precision liquid handling is paving the way for advancements in -omics, organoid cell culture, and microfluidics.

Through two keynote presentations and six innovation pitches, we will navigate the ever-changing and innovative liquid handling landscape.

CSEM and Toolpoint are pleased to welcome you to this workshop and to hear your thoughts and opinions during the presentations and discussions.

Venue

This workshop will take place at Technopark ZürichTechnoparkstrasse 1, 8005 Zürich in the main auditorium on the 1st floor.

Language

This workshop will be held in English.
