Great workshop in Bar Harbor!

As in the past, the Phenotyping Mouse Models of Human Lung Disease Workshop organized by The Jackson Laboratory attracted an international group of participants and presenters. Theoretical and hands-on laboratory sessions directed at accurate respiratory mechanics measurements using the forced oscillation techniques covered an important part of the workshop. This was complemented by other techniques employed to study human pulmonary diseases using mouse models.

The cordial format of the workshop permitted direct, one-on-one interactions with presenters and instructors. Participants also had an opportunity to get first-hand experience working with the flexiVent system while learning how to gather even more pertinent data for their research.

We are already looking forward to the next workshop. Join us next time!

Thank you ERS!

The SCIREQ team once again has enjoyed participating in the European Respiratoy Society's Annual Congress in Barcelona. Our partnership with our distributor EMKA Technologies was strengthened as we presented the flexiVent and inExpose systems in a joint booth.

It was a pleasure to see our international users come by the booth to discuss their research topics and experiences with our equipment. We always enjoy the opportunity to exchange ideas with our customers to learn about their applications while offering the best solutions for accurate respiratory mechanics measurements and inhalation exposure.
