The opening plenary lecture for the Geneva Congress will be given by Kurt Wüthrich.
In 2002 Professor Wüthrich was awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry for developing and applying Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy to determine the structures and dynamics of biological macromolecules and their complexes in solution and with atomic resolution (sciencedirect.com)

Eppendorf

DASbox® Mini Bioreactor System: most compact system for early stage processes

In fermentation, redox potential is an important physiochemical factor that measures the tendency of the culture medium to acquire electrons.

In our newest application note, C. beijerinckii was cultivated under anaerobic conditions by using the BioFlo 120 bioprocess control station. The redox potential was kept close to -500 mV by adding sodium sulfide. As a result, the bacterial growth and butanol production drastically increased compared to a process without redox potential control.
