Microfluidics has plenty of applications, some of which are now established. However, new applications arise as the technology matures and open exciting possibilities in various fields. For example, organs-on-chips show promising results for toxicology and efficacy testing in the pharmaceutical and other industries. In the field of biotechnology, microfluidics are increasingly used to isolate, analyze and culture cells. DNA/RNA sequencing sounds like a more mature application, but recent technology improvements make it appear like this field is only in its infancy and that great things are coming next. In this talk, Sébastien Clerc will present an overview of microfluidic technologies for these three applications along with main market and technology trends.
