final programme for UK AUC meeting

____________________________________________________________________________
4th UK AUC Users' Group Meeting
University of Leicester
25th & 26th March, 1996


In less than two weeks' time participants in the 4th UK AUC Users' Group 
Meeting will be arriving at University of Leicester to hear about the 
latest developments in methods, instrumentation and application of the 
Analytical Ultracentrifuge and related subjects. We've had a great response 
to this event but can still register people at short notice. 

If you'd like to register please contact 
Mandy Groves (tel 0116 252 3471; fax 0116 252 3369; e-mail mg22@le.ac.uk) or 
Olwyn Byron  (tel 0116 252 3452; fax 0116 252 3369; e-mail ob1@le.ac.uk). 
Registration costs stlg 44 (or stlg 28 for students presenting posters). 

Here is the Meeting programme:
