The leading teachers gave a detailed explanation of various experimental equipment in the laboratory. The guests present listened attentively to the teachers' introduction and conducted on-site visits and investigations, experiencing the safe experimental environment of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) firsthand.

Roadlab attended the meeting.

During the forum, the Roadlab booth attracted many participants to stop by, watch and inquire. Roadlab's professional team patiently answered everyone's questions and shared Rongde's successful cases and experiences in the field of laboratory construction.

Meanwhile, Roadlab also actively engages in exchanges and cooperation with other participating enterprises, looking forward to jointly promoting the progress of laboratory safety management and technological development in universities.

Participating in the "2024 International Forum on Laboratory Safety Management and Technology Development in Higher Education" not only enabled Roadlab to showcase its strength and achievements, but also provided a platform for communication and learning for Roadlab. Taking this as an opportunity, Roadlab will continue to uphold the concept of "born to meet needs and creating without end", constantly improve the level of products and services, and contribute more to the construction and development of university laboratories.

Here, we sincerely thank the forum organizers and all the participants for their support and attention. In the future, Rongde will continue to join hands with partners from all walks of life
