qPCR SYMPOSIUM BENELUX
The prominent and still growing place taken by real-time quantitative
PCR in applied and fundamental research and clinical diagnostics
almost appears obvious. 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.

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.
