Photochemical and photobiological research is a rapidly growing field with unique experimental requirements, and achieving a reliable and reproducible means of sample irradiation is often just as much a challenge as performing the research itself.

In this webinar with Carrie Ambler and David Chisholm from LightOx, we explored how the LightOx PhotoReact works and how the benchtop solution has been developed to solve the reliability problem and provide a user-friendly photoreactor capable of uniform irradiation.

By the end of this webinar you will:

  • Have learned about the LightOx PhotoReact and key steps in its development as a scientific instrument
  • Understand the major challenges in experimental photobiology and photochemistry
  • Understand the potential applications of the PhotoReact and how this benchtop machine can be used to increase the speed, efficiency and scope of your own work
