Join us on the 23rd & 24th February in Manchester Central Convention Complex to celebrate the success of the 10th Annual Biomarkers Congress, the leading Biomarkers congress in Europe.
Expecting to bring together over 250 senior level delegates representing leading biotech companies, global pharma organisations and internationally renowned academic institutions. The congress features 6 interactive streams:
Leaks at gas chromatography (GC) column connections are a common source of frustration and wasted time in laboratories.
Time is often spent manually tightening connections between columns using a handheld tool – time which could otherwise be spent analyzing results or running more investigations. Preventing GC leaks has become a priority for researchers looking to save time and money while achieving high quality results. GC column connections leak because capillary column ferrules made of graphite polyimide blends loosen after...
