MCS Microelectrode Array Workshop 2013: Neuronal Applications on Microelectrode Arrays

This fall, we have organized a one-day workshop on neuronal applications using microelectrode arrays. This workshop is in collaboration with the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute Reutlingen (NMI). 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: Tuesday, October 8, 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.
