My name is Heidi Polasek and I am the Manager of Global Training & Development at Luminex Corporation. I am very excited to announce the release of our new training website, xMAP University!
xMAP University represents a big change in the way we think about training and sharing information about Luminex products and technology. Come on in and look around. We hope you like it.
Virtual Lab
You’ve probably flown through it by now. The ‘VLab’, as we call it, is the launching pad for all Luminex training courses. All online courses are delivered in the VLab. You can register for these courses and take them at your convenience. No airline tickets required.
Besides stations for each of the Luminex Instruments and software systems, we’ve included a station to deliver training on commercial assays kits as well as assay deveopment.
A list of instructor-led training is here, too. These courses are delivered either at the customer site, or at one of the Luminex Learning centers. Training events at the Luminex Learning Centers are held quarterly at the real training lab in Austin, Texas or at our European headquarters in the Netherlands. Visit the home page of the xMAP University site for the next training events. We’re planning even more improvements to the VLab in the coming months, so stay tuned!
xMAP® TV
The other useful part of the site is xMAP® TV. This is where we’ll post video blogs and even short sections on how to perform some of our most common tasks on Luminex instruments. Product demonstrations and information about new releases will be posted here, too.
We hope to create a vibrant community of xMAP users online and to create a space where you can easily find training and share information on Luminex products.
Thanks for joining us on xMAP University.com!
