Additionally, attendees will get a preview of PDQ Connect features coming early in 2026!

If I had to go back... I couldn’t do it. We would have to bring on several more people just to do what I do with PDQ.

Alternate solutions didn’t have the flexibility I was looking for. It would take me a week and a half to outfit a new lab previously. Now, with PDQ, it takes me a couple hours.
