One recent paper, turned into something you can use the next morning. A specialist walks through what the authors found and what it means at the clinical exam, then the floor opens for discussion.

  • Free CPD, with certificate issued after attendance
  • Third Wednesday of every month, 1pm UK
  • One hour on Zoom, with an open discussion after the presentation

Zytca in your practice

In-clinic qPCR, with quantitative results on your own bench

The UlfaQ is Zytca’s in-clinic real-time PCR system: around 10 minutes of hands-on preparation, then a 30 to 40 minute run you do not need to stand over, with quantitative Ct values on screen. We’d love to show you the UlfaQ in action, in your practice. Send us a message and we will set aside some time for you.
