However, it is clear that contributions made by various scientists and companies in the field during the last decade rendered this technology useful and affordable for many users. More info =3D> http://www.gene-quantification.de/meetings.html#benelux Importantly, the qPCR domain is still in constant evolution, making it sometimes hard to stay informed about new methodological approaches or original studies using the real-time PCR. Therefore, we have scheduled a one day "Benelux qPCR Symposium" on October 6th 2008, giving the opportunity to the scientific community to get informed and discuss various aspects of real-time PCR (including but not limited to new applications, assay optimization and validation, new technologies, etc.). Scientific talks, posters sessions and industrial booths will be at the menu.
