UK MBio User Meeting

20 October 2026

You're Invited to the Bruker UK MBio User Meeting 2026

Join us for an engaging and informative day bringing together users from across the UK to exchange experiences, explore best practices, and learn about the latest developments from the Bruker team. The event will include user-led presentations, interactive discussions, and valuable networking opportunities with peers from the microbiology community.

 

You Ask, We Answer!

We’re bringing a live, interactive Q&A session to this year’s User Group Meeting — and we want your questions!

When registering, please submit at least one question for our experts to tackle on the day. No question is too simple, too technical or too unusual — if you’ve ever wondered about it, this is your opportunity to ask!

Your questions will help shape the session, so get thinking… what have you always wanted to ask?
