Held in conjunction with Lab-on-a-Chip Asia - Microfluidics, Point Of Care Diagnostics & Organ-on-a-Chip
18 Nov 2015, at 09:00-12:00 in Singapore
Course Title:
Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip (LOAC) for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostics
Applications: Technologies, Applications, Research Trends.
Scope of this Short Course:
The course will provide a broad overview of Lab-on-a-Chip (LOAC) technologies
as an enabling technology for new product development in diagnostics and the
life sciences. Emphasis is put on the complete development process for
commercial microfluidics-enabled products, covering aspects of development
strategies, manufacturing technologies, application cases, markets as well as
aspects of commercialization and latest trends in the academic world. The
course is suitable for scientists, technicians, engineers but also business
developers who would like to develop a deeper understanding of Lab-on-a-chip
technologies as a key element for the development of new product in a broad
range of markets, especially as it relates to POC diagnostics
development.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand
the role of microfluidics technology in the development of new
products.
- Learn
about development and modularization strategies in product
development.
- Understand
different microfabrication methods for low and high volume
production.
- Understand
economic aspects in the development and manufacturing of Lab-on-a-chip
devices and systems.
- Learn
about examples of successful and unsuccessful microfluidic product
introductions.
- Understand
the current state of the markets and obstacles in the commercialization
process.
- Get an
overview on current trends in LOAC research.
