Workshop: Lab on a Chip for (Bio)analytical Chemistry
The workshop will take place prior to ARF08, starting with dinner on Sunday 20 July and running straight into ARF on Monday 21 July.
Introduction
Miniaturisation in analytical chemistry is drawing ever more attention and the number of universities active in this field is increasing rapidly. The Department of Chemistry at the University of Hull has a long established research record in microfluidic chemistry and as part of the Analytical Research Forum 2008 will offer a workshop on Lab on a Chip for (Bio)analytical Chemistry.
This workshop is aimed at PhD students and PostDocs who would like to learn (more) about lab on a chip technology and its applications in analytical and bioanalytical chemistry. Newcomers to the field will gain a comprehensive overview; whereas researchers that already have some experience in working with microfluidic devices will be able to update and broaden their knowledge.
Topics
Topics include:
- benefits and limitations of miniaturisation
- fluid behaviour in small channels
- how to fabricate and put together a lab on a chip
- applications in environmental, forensic and clinical analysis
General Information
The workshop will start with dinner on Sunday 20 July at Thwaite Hall, University of Hull, followed by the first session with guest speaker Professor Joe Wang, New Mexico State University, USA.
It will continue on Monday 21 July in the Chemistry Department, University of Hull, and will end with lunch, which will run directly into ARF for delegates who are also registered to attend ARF.
