Lab-on-a-Chip: From Technology to Bioanalysis on Chip

The essence of lab-on-a-chip is the exploitation of micro-nanotechnologies such as microfluidics for ultra-small volume (femtoliter to microliter) liquid handling and sample processing. Debuting in the late 1980’s, lab-on-a-chip is now recognized as an enabling technology that is applied to a myriad of life science applications, from bioanalysis and biosynthesis to organ-on-a-chip and in vivo fluid dynamics.
This course is aimed at researchers who are interested in learning more about the concepts and technologies underlying lab-on-a-chip systems and how these systems are applied in the life sciences. We hope to provide you with a basic "how-to" primer that offers some guidance for the development of prototypes having integrated functions, using a variety of applications as examples.
