Next week, our supplier Gerhardt Analytical systems offers two exciting webinars. One is about nitrogen analysis according to the Kjeldahl method and the other is about fiber analysis in feed.
The webinars take place on Tuesday 4 April and Wednesday 5 April at 11.00-13.00. They are held in English and you can choose to attend one or both webinars. Feel free to register even if the time doesn’t suit you because you get access to a recorded version of the webinar afterwards even if you can’t participate.
