Register Now: Summer Workshop in Microfluidic Device Fabrication
Microfluidic devices can enable “labs on chips” that consume less reagents and have faster analysis times than similar experiments performed in a traditional lab environment. Applications of microfluidic devices include portable sensors for point-of-care analysis, molecular and cell biology studies, and high-throughput multiplexed assays. This short course will introduce the… Read MoreJan. 12, 2022
