Lab-on-a-Chip World Congress, 12-13 September 2013, San Diego, CA, USA

CSL’s delegates, acting in MICROBIOMED project, attended the Congress.  

The Lab-on-a-Chip World Congress brought together leaders from both academia and industry to discuss innovative developments in this exciting field, with presentations exploring the latest advances in microfluidics and microfabrication. Attention was also given to some of the many applications of Labs-on-Chips, from the enhancement of life science research, to taking diagnostics to the point of need.

As the conference was co-located with Microarray World Congress, Molecular Diagnostics World Congress and Single Cell Analysis Summit, the CSL’s delegates had access to all four meetings. This opportunity was used for very interesting information review in regards to all aspects of MICROBIOMED.

The main topics addressed by the congress were:

      •   Diagnostics and Medical Applications
      •   Droplet-Based Microfluidics
      •   Market Orientated Device
      •   Nanotech on a Chip
      •   Optofluidics
      •   Point of Care Devices and Diagnostics
      •   Single Cell Analysis
