FIDA Advanced Course at Harwell (UK)

FIDA Advanced Courses are designed to teach key capabilities that improve both Fida 1 user experience and data quality. Whether you have been using FIDA for many years or you performed your first few assays, this course can greatly benefit you, as:

• You will gain the knowledge that will allow you to extract and interpret all the of information that is present in Fida 1 data
• You will learn about new features of the Fidabio software
• You will network with the global FIDA community
•  You will have a chance to address your specific issues with our scientists

Topics covered

• Assay optimization: labelling strategies, pressure control, etc
• Ensuring optimal data – from any kind of sample (hands-on session)
• Know the stability of your protein sample (hands-on session)
• User cases. The course gives you the chance to discuss your specific case.The program will be sent to the participants 1 week before the course.
