Recent research using microfluidic technology has provided emerging platforms with high potential to accelerate the clinical translation of nanomedicine.

Session 6: Nano-Materials and Nano-Technology

Nano materials benefit from microfluidics in terms of synthesis and simulation of environments for Nano motors and Nano robots. Microfluidics seminars in relational to materials and technology makes easy to understand nanoparticles. In our opinion, the “marriage” of nanomaterial and microfluidics is highly beneficial and is expected to solve vital challenges in related fields.

Session 7: Microfluidics in Pharmacy and Biotechnology

Transforming your IVD test or pharmaceutical device into a completely designed in microfluidic product is our activity. Pharmacy workshops related to drugs delivery deals with microfluidics study, one of our key qualities is the capacity to give novel preparing solutions and in addition, the outline and assembling of a few sorts of miniaturized scale form advancements (Silicon, SU-8 and steel), the mix of miniaturized scale and full-scale highlights, mixes of process steps, testing gathering steps, stringent QC prerequisites and bundling of the last item. Microfluidics empowers procedures of Biotechnology to continue a scale (microns) at which physical procedures, for example, osmotic development, and electrophoretic-motility and surface connections wind up noticeably upgraded. Microfluidics has been connected to DNA examination techniques and appeared to quicken DNA microarray test hybridization times. The connecting of microfluidics to protein investigation technologies, e.g. mass spectrometry, empowers Pico mole measures of peptide to be broke down inside a controlled small-scale condition. The adaptability of microfluidics events will encourage its misuse in test improvement over different biotechnological disciplines.

Session 8: Lab-On-A-Chip Technology

Lab-on-a-chip refers to advances which permit operations which regularly require a lab - union and investigation of chemicals - on an exceptionally scaled down scale, inside a versatile or handheld device. There are many advantages to working on this scale. Investigation of tests can take place in situ, precisely where the specimens are created, as opposed to being transported around to an extensive research centre office. The distinctions in liquid elements on a small scale imply that it is less demanding to control the development and association of tests, making responses considerably more effective, and lessening substance squander.

Session 9: Clinical Diagnostics

Research centre instrumentation and diagnostic device are getting to be smaller, simpler, and smarter. This pattern to scaling down reaches out to fluid handling and fluid examination. However, liquid conduct experiences huge changes as geometric scale diminishes. The laminar stream conduct of liquids in microfluidic device must be suited in the outline and advancement of clinical and bio-clinical scaled down frameworks.

Micro actuators are works on three-dimensional mechanical structures with very small dimensions which are produced with the help of lithographic procedures and non-isotropic etching techniques. Micro actuators are narrow sense and the mechanisms of force generation are integrated monolithically.

Session 12: Acoustic droplet ejection (ADE)

Acoustic bead discharge utilizes a beat of ultrasound to move low volumes of liquids (ordinarily nanolitres or picolitres) with no physical contact. This innovation centres acoustic vitality into a liquid example with a specific end goal to discharge beads as little as a millionth of a millionth of a litter (picolitre). ADE innovation is an exceptionally delicate process, and it can be utilized to exchange proteins, high sub-atomic weight DNA and live cells without harm or loss of feasibility. This element makes the innovation reasonable for a wide assortment of uses including proteomics and based examines.
