Program
More information
Instructions for poster and oral presentation submission - Deadline for abstracts: October 25, 2011.

Our Application specialists and scientists will join this event, but at these meetings we have also gathered some of the most experienced QCM-D users. They will present their research and share their tips and tricks on using QCM-D.

Over two days, you will get the chance to listen to high quality talks; meet, dine and chat with other competent researchers; follow the latest progress at the poster session and join the training session for QCM-D modeling and QTools.
