PRE-CONFERENCE EVENT:
Labs21 Bio-Containment Symposium
Monday, October 20
Labs21 assembled a highly distinguished team of designers,
engineers, and end-users to examine the current status of the bio-containment
industry, recent trends, and future opportunities. Attendees participated
in an exclusive half-day symposium to address these and other questions
with experts from around the world:
- What environmental sensing techniques, devices, and systems
are being employed or are under development?
- How are bio-containment facilities perceived in the areas in
which they are built? How can they be marketed to a community
as an advantageous asset?
- Do your facilities perform as intended? How are performance
characteristics measured or assessed?
- What is the future direction of biotechnology and related fields?
Below is the symposium agenda with links to abstracts and presentations,
which will be posted as we receive permission from the authors.
