Beckman Coulter Life Sciences (Brea, California) recently launched its nationwide Discovery in Motion tour, a mobile exhibit equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory instrumentation that will travel coast-to-coast throughout the continental United States, with a few stops scheduled in Canada. The tour started in San Diego, offering application demonstrations performed by a team of scientific experts.
“We are extremely excited with the launch of the Discovery in Motion tour,” Scott Atkin, president of Beckman Coulter, said. “This mobile laboratory allows us to reach our customers in ways we never could before. By delivering live, up close demonstrations of our products, we are able to provide researchers with a richer experience.”
The tour is designed for laboratory directors, principal investigators, laboratory technicians, staff scientists, and anyone involved in life sciences, chemistry, and materials research. Each stop will provide visitors with a variety of activities. Researchers can experience a personalized demonstration, meet colleagues, and receive information to stay up-to-date on the latest science and technology available from Beckman Coulter. Capillary electrophoresis, centrifugation, liquid handling, particle characterization, and flow cytometry products will be on display for the initial leg of the tour, and products will be added as new technologies become available.
