MCS Microelectrode Array Workshop 2013: Cardiac Applications on Microelectrode Arrays

Registration is closed!

This summer, we have organized a one-day workshop on cardiac applications using microelectrode arrays. This workshop is in collaboration with the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute Reutlingen (NMI and NMI-TT GmbH). We would like to take this opportunity to officially invite you to attend this event.
We will be performing various experiments in small groups on microelectrode arrays to ensure a thorough and detailed look into our microelectrode array systems in action.
This will also be a good opportunity to exchange insights and thoughts with our application specialists, who can offer tips and tricks for your own particular research questions. Moreover, it is a good chance to find out about the latest news and trends for the future of MEA-technology.

Date: Thursday, June 20, 2013
Starts: 9:30 am
Ends: about 6:00 pm,
Followed by a get-together with food and drinks
Costs: 250.00€ + VAT (incl. coffee breaks, lunch, and get-together)
Location: Natural and Medical Sciences Institute Reutlingen
MarkwiesenstraĂźe 55; 72770 Reutlingen; Germany

Please find below the preliminary program information.
