Macromolecular training 

Rigaku holds three-day training sessions tailored towards the needs of macromolecular crystallographers and their staff. The topics covered during the course are listed below. Sessions  begin Wednesday at 8:15 a.m. and end Friday at 6:00 p.m.

Upcoming session(s):

  • September 17-19, 2008 This class is now full

The three-day program fee is $1500 for the first person from a facility and $1100 for each additional person from the same facility. We are offering a 20% discount of these fees for participants from facilities with a current Rigaku service contract. The session will be limited to twelve (12) persons total (dependent on demand, we reserve the right to limit enrollment to one person per facility). Separating into two groups of 6 facilitates an individual approach to the training.

We reserve a block of rooms at a nearby hotel with a special rate for the training session. Rigaku's own travel agent is available to help you with your travel arrangements. Payment may be made by purchase order, facility check or credit card. Lunch each day and the group dinner are included in the program fee. Please return the registration form and survey form no later than four weeks prior to the session you plan to attend this session. Further instructions/information will be forwarded upon receipt of the registration.
