NanoDrop provides qualified workshops and courses free loaner instruments for teaching purposes. 

The intent of the workshop loaner program is to provide an education service to the scientific community free of charge.  The program is designed for short, hands-on, wet lab workshops.   Participating workshops should focus on a particular molecular technique (e.g. qPCR, sequencing, microarrays, etc.), or a subject matter that deals with such molecular techniques (e.g. cell biology, neurobiology, plant genetics, etc.).  Workshops should be designed for professional, post-doctoral, or graduate students.

Terms and conditions:

• This program is limited to the US and Canada.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific will pay all shipping costs.
• The loaner period will be determined by communication between the course instructor and the our free trial coordinator (typically 1-2 weeks).
• The user will supply a PC (MS Windows XP or Vista) to run the instrument software.
• The user will supply and confirm that all needed reagents are on hand before an instrument will be shipped (especially important for the NanoDrop 3300).
• The workshop loaner program instrument will be used to test non-radioactive samples only.
• After the loaner period, the user will decontaminate and ship the instrument back to NanoDrop. Shipping instructions are supplied.
