Meeting Announcement

On behalf of the scientific and organizing committees, it is my pleasure to invite you to the 22nd International Symposium on MicroScale Bioseparations (msb), which will be held in Berlin, Germany, March 9-13, 2008. The msb Symposium series is the premier meeting for microscale separation and analysis methods as applied to material of biological relevance. Thus, the abbreviation msb could also stand for Methods in Systems Biology. By providing a forum for novel miniaturized approaches in separation, detection and sample preparation for the life sciences, the meeting bridges cutting-edge technology with current biological and biomedical applications.

Attendees from industrial and government research institutions and academia are invited to participate in the scientific program. In addition, an international exhibition by commercial vendors and workshops on special topics of interest will be included in this exciting forum for scientific exchange.
