What's New with DART? 
The latest developments and news on DART Mass Spectrometry

 
Greetings!,

We hope to see you next week at the ASMS Conference in Denver.  We will have an exciting new product to show and we look forward to seeing all of you at Booth 133.  There are also a number of interesting DART presentations, and the list is below.

We are having our annual DART Forum meeting on Tuesday morning and there are still a few seats left.  You can go here to reserve your spot and see the details.  Please join us for a cup of coffee, breakfast, and science.

If you can't make it to the meeting, we will be happy to send you our DART Forum Book, so please let us know if you'd like a copy.

Please have a look and contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks and see you soon.


Regards,
Brian
