Programmet er basert på et kurs arrangert av NMKL i 2014\, men inkluderer de nyeste fremskrittene innen feltet. Målgruppen inkluderer teknisk personell i mikrobiologiske laboratorier og personer som ønsker å gjøre seg kjent med feltet\, samt de som jobber med vann- og miljøanalyse. Kurset holdes i forskjellige nordiske og baltiske land på respektive nasjonalspråk\, og har blitt holdt i Finland og Estland i 2024. \nSted: Radisson Blu Airport Hotel\, Oslo\, Norway.

SUMMARY:MALDI-ToF workshop (food microbiology) in Oslo\, Norway\, on 5 June 2019
DESCRIPTION:The workshop\, which is arranged by NMKL\, is not only useful for MALDI-ToF users but also for those who are considering to use MALDI-ToF in the future. It will focus on microbiology\, however\, there will be presentations about the general principles of MALDI-ToF\, what is required\, how to use it\, how to expand the database\, experience with usage and also presentations by the suppliers of the equipment. \nFor programme see here \nVenue: The Norwegian Veterinary Institute\, Oslo\, Norway \nFees:\nRegistration\, ordinary: 200 EUR \nExhibitors: 800 EUR\, covering facilities and registration for two persons \nDeadline for registration: 26 April 2019. Please send registration form to nmkl@food.dtu.dk \nMeld deg på

SUMMARY:Seminar on digitalisation of the laboratory – benefits and pitfalls
DESCRIPTION:NMKL arranges a course on digitalisation of the laboratory in Sigtuna\, Sweden\, on 29 August 2018. The language is English. \nDigitalisation provides opportunities for increased quality assurance and smoother data management. However\, the process of digitalisation is complicated and systems that do not match expectations are not uncommon. At the seminar\, some marketable systems are presented by company representatives. As development progresses rapidly\, visions on near-future systems will also be presented. \nIn the afternoon\, representatives from different laboratories will tell about their experiences with digitalising their own lab – what went well and what could have been better? We will also get some tips on what to consider and how to get started. Which are the lowest hanging fruits? \nThis seminar addresses you who work with improvement of the laboratory\, both from a quality assurance and an efficiency perspective. \nTo see the programme and register for the seminar (deadline:15 June) click here.
