Micralyne is pleased to present our first QUEST Series Seminar
"Exploring Microfluidics: Designing Your Own Chip"
Royal Sonesta Hotel, 5 Cambridge Parkway, Cambridge, MA 02142
Monday May 6, 2002
Session 1: 9 AM to 12 NOON
Session 2: 1 PM to 4 PM
Seminar Free of Charge
Micralyne is pleased to offer this new seminar series called “QUEST”. We have chosen this name for its image of exploration, or journey of discovery. As the field of microfluidics in biological applications moves forward at breakneck speed, it can be difficult to cull out the practical information needed to apply to your own ideas and goals. These interactive information sessions are intended for those who are seeking to further develop their involvement in the technologies associated with microfluidics (lab-on-a-chip, bio-chip), whether it be at a basic or at a more advanced level.
Dr. John Crabtree will discuss several topics including the following:
- Basic issues of microfluidics
- On-chip detection
- Technical considerations of chip planning and design
- Electroosmotic flow vs. pressure-driven flow
As part of the program, there will be an open forum to allow participants the opportunity to share information and ideas together with the presenter(s) and each other.
- Refreshments will be served at each session
A comprehensive display of Micralyne's capabilities and product offerings will also be available for your perusal
- One registrant from each “QUEST” location will be chosen at random to participate in our new ProtoChipTM program FREE OF CHARGE (a $5000 USD value)
