Dear All,

It is my great pleasure to announce next weeks Illumina BeadArray system (molecular karyotyping module) user training event that is hosted by product specialist Andreas Dahlgren together with Reija Laitinen of Illumina. The array-CGH and SNP analysis system user training consists of two separat parts: 1) the limited attendance (only 4-6 preselected participants) for the hands-on laboratory user training, and *2) the lecture room info, teaching and discussion sessions that are open for all of you interested to learn more about these new and revolutionary array-based applications in medical diagnostics and research**.*

A corresponding user training for the Illumina expression and methylation analysis module is planned to take place at a later occasion (possibly end of August), and I will inform you about the details of this subsequent event once they become available.
