Microdroplets in Action

7 May 2008, Cambridge, United Kingdom


Introduction
"Microdroplets in Action" is a one day symposium to bring together leading scientists working in the area of microdroplets. The event will feature the research in the area funded at the University of Cambridge and Imperial College by the Research Council UK, and leading figures from the USA and Europe.


Microdroplets are small homogeneous droplets, typically generated in microfluidic systems. Each droplet is potentially a unique reaction chamber in which a discrete chemical or biological transformation can be carried out. Microdroplets have the potential to provide a conceptually new platform for carrying out experiments in the physical and biological sciences. Research in this area involves device fabrication, droplet physics, surfactant chemistry, and ultrasensitive detection methods. The field is developing rapidly with specific exemplifications in directed evolution of proteins, enzymology and reaction optimisation e.g. for polymerisation or protein crystallisation. There is strong international interest in the area in Europe, the USA, Asia and a growing number of companies are seeking to adopt the technology.
