Abstract

Point of Care: Coping with Complexity

Jim Sirkis, Chief Technology Officer, IDEX Health & Science

Complexity, manufacturability and cost converge in applications that require sample-to-answer solutions.  Dr. Jim Sirkis, CTO of IDEX Health & Science, will present on the critical factors and focus affecting complex microfluidic consumables.  Dr. Sirkis oversees global technology development for IDEX Health & Science, including the recent integration of thinXXS Microtechnology.   Combined together, IH&S now offers the largest and most comprehensive microfluidics portfolio optimizing the Optofluidic pathway. Dr. Sirkis will review the interdependencies between low cost precision molding, reagent management, fluid handling, assay detection and the importance of informed, systems-based decision making when designing a successful consumable platform.
