Microbial Stress Congress 2020
This meeting is a “must attend” event in the field. It is aimed at covering both fundamental and applied aspects related to microbial responses to stress, from molecular to population and system level.

The Scientific Programme enjoys a panel of outstanding speakers and is designed to offer plenty of opportunities not only to established scientists to speak, but also to Early Career Investigators to present their work orally and as posters and to widen their scientific network.


Registration is open

Eppendorf

SciVario® twin – One for All

Scientists need a bioprocess control system that evolves together with their laboratory. With the first bioprocess controller that comes with VisioNize®-onboard and modular hardware features, Eppendorf offers an innovative, intuitive, and intelligent twin-system, ready to bring the digital age to bioprocess laboratories. The SciVario® twin bioprocess controller was launched successfully in February. At launch it supports glass and single-use bioreactors in a range of 0.7 – 3.8 L and can run microbial as well as cell culture applications. With future updates, provided for free by Eppendorf, the SciVario twin will be able to control up to 50 L vessels without the need of any hardware modifications.
