September 3 & 4 : LAB-ON-A-CHIP DEVICES FOR BIOANALYSIS

LAB-ON-A-CHIP DEVICES FOR BIOANALYSIS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES :

  1. Understand the benefits and limitations of miniaturisation and learn how lab-on-a-chip devices can be fabricated, assembled and operated.
  2. Understand the behaviour of fluids in microchannels and learn how this has led to methods of pumping, mixing and detection that can be quite different from those used on the larger scale.
  3. Gain a broad overview of the applications of lab-on-a-chip devices in the area of life sciences including DNA and protein analysis as well as recent developments in cell and tissue analysis.
  4. Understand the challenges and recent developments towards integrated and portable analysis systems (microTAS) that can be used at the point-of-care for medical applications, at-the-scene for forensic applications or in-the-field for environmental and biodefence applications.
