A meeting organised but the RMS and flowcytometryUK.

This will be an open forum and will include:

  • how to best operate a lab and keep users safe, how to operate a core facility where social distancing is required
  • the use of remote training for users in confined spaces. What aspects need to be considered, have been tried and worked and what has not worked!
  • What else can be done to benefit users and add value to their research whilst not in the lab 
  • All comments, questions will be welcome during this interactive open forum

The meeting may have to be limited so please register early and we look forward to seeing you all soon (as this is a virtual meeting, depending on your time zone, please feel free to bring your own refreshments!)
