PicoQuant hosted the 28th edition of the Single Molecule Workshop from September 26 to 28, 2023, bringing together 91 participants from 20 countries. The in-person gathering featured a rich program, including 28 talks and 41 poster presentations, spanning a diverse array of life science applications and newly developed fluorescence methods.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage in live demonstrations of PicoQuant's new Luminosa microscope, showcasing advancements in FLIM and single molecule FRET. The event fostered networking through a conference dinner and a get-together following the poster session, creating an environment conducive to collaboration and knowledge exchange.

In addition to the insightful presentations and posters, PicoQuant unveiled exciting new products during the event, including the PicoHarp 330 and the accompanying snAPI python wrapper. These additions promise to further empower researchers in their fluorescence studies.
