Catch up on these 7 on-demand webinars and virtual events

  • Weighing excellence in the lab: Choosing the right analytical balance: Christian Weidner reveals the surprises of the Entris® II balance and how it can help you achieve weighing excellence, no matter the material involved. Weidner also shows how the balance generates accurate and consistent results, while promising users unrivaled value. Watch here>>
  • Meet regulatory compliance for biopharma with new mass spec software solutions: Robert Ley, MassHunter Compliance Software Product Manager at Agilent Technologies, explores the current regulatory landscape and how new mass spectrometry software updates can enable you to address data integrity and meet regulatory requirements, such as US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. Watch here>>
  • A serotype-specific PCR method for detecting Salmonella spp. in poultry: Dr. Frieda Jørgensen outlines the current investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis, sharing how RapidFinder PCR enables rapid detection of contaminated products. Jørgensen highlights how this method can be applied to primary and secondary enrichments and the confirmation of isolates and why this method was especially important in analyzing products that were co-contaminated with other serovars where the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis was realized only as a result of the PCR. Watch here>>
  • The benefits of adopting cloud-based solutions: James Pena, Thermo Fisher Scientific, discusses: how the adoption of cloud-based solutions is influencing the industry; the major benefits of a cloud infrastructure; strategies for customer or vendor-managed cloud deployments; processes and strategies to move existing infrastructure to the cloud; and real-world cloud deployment examples.Watch here>>
