New dates announced for Salimetrics Europe "Spit Camp" training - Cambridge

The Salimetrics 'Spit Camp' saliva training day teaches you all the skills you need to run a Salivary ELISA Assay. You learn the technology behind the assay; practical pipetting skills; the full assay procedure; test your own Saliva for Cortisol; talk through other assays such as Progesterone, Testosterone etc and learn how to collect saliva, plan your own research, interpret results and troubleshoot.

A very successful day for the participants who attended recently. Here is a testimonial from Samantha:

" I had a great day on the recent Spit Camp UK, held at Anglia Ruskin University. Dr Matt Bristow was excellent and really put emphasis on the practical side of salivary analysis.  For a first timer in this Lab setting I thought it might be daunting but Matt and Senior lab technician Katie made us feel very welcome and at ease.  I have taken away some invaluable information and lab skills; and it has fuelled the researcher in me to get started...Thank you Salimetrics!"
