Lab Technicians
CONASTA 58 welcomes laboratory technicians to join
us for this event. While there will be sessions every
day that will appeal and be relevant we also have a
special lab tech focus day on Monday 6 July. This will

professional networking, laboratory practice and
invaluable association liaison.
