Leon Otten, Professor of Strasbourg University (France) made a special report about natural transgenic plants. The expert highlighted the environmental safety as well as the new opportunities of fundamental science.

 

 

During the conference was held an exhibition of modern biotechnological equipment and reagents - "Biotechnosphere". As a part of the event were realized a competition for the best poster report and special training sessions for young people.

BioVitrum took part in the event. At the exhibition booth of BioVitrum was presented company’s product portfolio in Life Science. The specialists made detailed consultations for the participants on new technologies and equipment, as well as consumables in cell and molecular biology.

 

 

The great interest of the participants had Fragment Analyzer™ — high-precision quality control of NGS libraries preparation. Fragment analysis system is intended to characterize the fragment composition and quantitative evaluation of DNA and RNA. 

 

 

 

 

At the BioVitrum booth were presented the imaging systems: from biological microscopes to ultra-high resolution confocal systems. The participants were very interested in upright microscopes ECLIPSE Ci and Ni Nikon, designed for clinical and laboratory research. These microscopes meet all the requirements, ensuring image quality, ease of setup and operation.
