EBF 2010 Barcelona Conference Report

The conference report on EBF's 3rd Open Symposium has been published in Bioanalysis of April 2011, Volume 3, Number 8 and can be downloaded for free using this link: http://www.future-science.com/doi/pdfplus/10.4155/bio.11.52

The 3rd Annual Open Symposium was again much anticipated after the two previous successful meetings. The symposium included sessions on thinking outside the 'commodity' box, bioanalytical challenges with blood, global harmonisation, assay platforms, dried blood spots, immunogenicity, matrix effects, anomalous results, biomarkers and two plenary technology sessions hosted by the Platinum sponsors. Experts and key opinion leaders were invited as guest speakers. A total of 420 delegates attended from 113 companies representing a large percentage of the European bioanalytical community. In addition to 48 oral presentations, 88 posters were presented and there was a vendor exposition of 40 companies.
