Microfluidics- Design, Manufacturing and Applications

Held in conjunction with Microfluidics and LAB-ON-A-CHIP

16 Jan 2018, at 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Mumbai

About the Course

Miniaturization, requiring use of Microfluidics or Lab-on-a-Chip Technology has proven to have specific advantage in expediting early stages of drug discovery process, extension of bioassay and cell biology possibilities, better separation techniques, relatively accurate modeling of physiological situations and systematic high-volume testing. This training course is specially designed to equip the delegates regarding the technology of designing a microfluidic system for their potential applications in biotechnology, medical devices, food and agriculture research.In the practical hour, the participants will be given exercise to design a microfluidic chip related to their respective research field.
