Advanced Hands-on Mass Seminar

The Advanced Hands-On Mass seminar is a follow-up seminar to the Advanced Mass seminar where theory and concepts are presented. The Advanced Hands-On Mass Seminar was developed to provide hands-on training due to the learning curve associated with using weighing designs, new software, and laboratory automation. The seminar is somewhat unstructured and is adjusted based on the specific needs of the participants and on previous training and current requirements. A fixed agenda is not established, but definite topics will be covered to ensure consistency.

PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A NOTEBOOK PC FOR THE ADVANCED MASS HANDS-ON SEMINAR!!!
