AFM Workshop and Open Lab

Discover Where Modern AFM Can Take Your Research

Asylum Research, in collaboration with the Univ. of Manchester’s BioAFM facility, will host a free workshop on the latest advances in AFM aimed at both AFM novices as well as existing users wishing to expand their knowledge. The first day includes lectures by Asylum Research and Univ. of Manchester scientists who will discuss recent AFM innovations and how AFM is essential to their research. AFM experts will answer “anything about AFM” in the Q&A open discussion. Attendees can also sign up for a one hour session to see some of these novel AFM techniques and video-rate imaging with the Cypher VRS. The second day features an Open Lab, an excellent opportunity to meet with Asylum scientists in front of the AFM to learn tips and tricks, or to get help with imaging.

The second day will feature an Open Lab. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with Asylum scientists in front of the instrument to learn tips and tricks, or to get help with imaging. Limited spots will be available, so we encourage early registration.

Registration

Registration is free, but all attendees must register due to limited seating. If you wish to bring a sample to the Open Lab, be sure to tell us the details of your sample and the techniques you wish to see. Open Lab times are on a first-come, first-served basis.
