Ultimate Discovery Tool Summit - Europe
16-17 June, 2026Discover More with Pegasus HRT
16-17 June, 2026
-
Join us at LECO’s European Application and Technology Center (EATC) in Berlin on 16–17 June 2026 for a dedicated two-day summit focused entirely on the Pegasus HRT series.
Following the success of our US Ultimate Discovery Tool Summit, LECO is pleased to bring this focused event concept to Europe. This special summit will bring together Pegasus HRT users, collaborators, and scientific leaders for two days of presentations, discussion, and networking centered on the power of high-resolution mass spectrometry.
- From advanced non-targeted analysis and complex sample characterization to emerging application fields and future workflows, the programmed will highlight how Pegasus HRT instruments are helping scientists gain deeper insight and greater confidence in discovery-driven analysis.
Event Location: LECO European Application and Technology Center (EATC), Berlin
