<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Please join us
for a training course on laboratory techniques for<BR>lipophilic toxins by
LC-MS/MS to be held at Univ. Vigo in Vigo, Spain.<BR><BR>Temperate lipophilic
toxins such as the okadaic acids, azaspiracids,<BR>pectenotoxins and yessotoxins
are found around the world and the<BR>state-of-the-art methods taught in this
course have now been approved by the<BR>EU for their detection in shellfish.
Mouse bioassay reduction of use and<BR>replacement is now a fact, and this
hands-on course, taught by world experts<BR>Quilliam and McNabb will help
laboratories prepare for these imminent<BR>changes.<BR><BR>Course fees are 250
Euros and the course is offered on a space-available<BR>basis. This two-day
session is held April 28 - April 29, 2011. , and course<BR>attendees are
encouraged to register also for "Marine and Freshwater Toxins<BR>Analysis" the
Second Joint Symposium and AOAC Task Force Meeting at nearby<BR>Baiona, Spain
May 1-5, 2011. This event will include presentations by<BR>experts in marine
toxin detection as well as practical advice and<BR>discussions on the challenges
of instrumental method implementation in<BR>monitoring, and mouse use
elimination and/or reduction.<BR><BR>Please contact </FONT><A
