Synopsis
This two-day course is an introduction to microfluidics and the application of this technology in the life sciences. It is designed to give a compact overview of the main important aspects of working with liquids in confined spaces as well as handling of minute amounts of chemicals, highlighting the essential differences between microfluidic-based approaches and more traditional biochemical analysis systems. The attendees will receive a broad "first glimpse" impression of all the different bits and pieces (technological, physical and chemical) that are necessary to arrive at functional lab-on-a-chip devices.
Anyone interested in getting a basic understanding of design, fabrication and workings of microfluidics-based devices for chemical and biomedical applications. Typical attendees include scientists, engineers, lab managers, and students.
