GE Healthcare - General Biacore™ Questionaire Dear customer In order to organize the workshop best it would be very helpful to have some information about your project, the nature of the molecules and previous results. The following form should help to collect the details. The file we sent is a “protected” Word document, just tab through the document to fill in the information. The file should be returned no later than 4 weeks prior to the start of the user day. Thanks for your co-operation!
