December 2014 Technology News

This month, we spotlight companies that will be exhibiting at the Society for Lab Automation and Screening’s Fourth Annual Conference & Exhibition (SLAS2015). This year’s event will feature the new 2015 SLAS Leadership Forum, which is geared to the interests of executive-level professionals and co-located with SLAS2015. The event runs February 7-11, 2015 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Please remember that these particular products may not be at the show, but the highlighted companies will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
