Registration
Session: Technologies in the Lab-on-a-Chip Space
09:00
Compact, Cost-efficient Stopped-Flow System
Klaus Stefan Drese, Scientific Director Research and Development, Institut fuer
Mikrotechnik Mainz
A powerful miniaturized, cost-efficient Stopped-Flow system is described. Based
on a microfluidic disposable chip the developed device shows a dead time of just
7ms. The ability of kinetic measurements in absorption and fluorescence mode
makes this system competitive to conventional commercial systems.
09:30
Functional Integration on a Chip: Strategies and Methods for Complex
Microfluidic Devices
Holger Becker, Director, Microfluidic ChipShop
As the commercialization of microfluidic devices progresses, more complex and
fully integrated microfluidic devices are becoming available. We present
examples and strategies for their development.

Personalized Cardiac Care using Magnotech – Reliable and Fast Magnetic
Point-of-care Biosensor Technology
Peggy de Kievit, Research Engineer, Phillips Research
We present a handheld integrated device for the rapid and sensitive detection of
cardiac troponin I. Our technology is based on a novel analytical technique that
significantly reduces the assay time relative to the state-of-the-art by
combining active magnetic particle labels, actuating magnets and optical
detection. The speed, ease-of-use and high analytical sensitivity of the test
make it well suited for demanding point-of-care medical diagnostic applications
which require a short turnaround time, high performance and reliability.

16:15
Bio-ferrofluidics for Lab-on-a-Chip and Rapid Diagnostics Applications
Hur Koser, Professor, Yale University
We present a new microfluidic paradigm that utilizes bio-compatible ferrofluids
for rapid mixing of biomolecules, as well as controlled manipulation and sorting
of live cells. This approach can substantially reduce incubation times and
increase sensitivity in diagnostic assays by delivering target moieties directly
to sensor arrays.
16:45
Applications of Digital Microfluidics in Clinical Diagnostics
Michael Pollack, Founder, Advanced Liquid Logic
Digital microfluidics enables a wide range of assay formats to be flexibly
implemented on a low-cost lab-on-a-chip device. An overview will be presented of
current efforts at Advanced Liquid Logic to apply this technology in Clinical
Diagnostic applications.

Microfluidics and the Real World – How Large a Niche?
Raymond Mariella, Senior Scientist, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
There is a desire to find alternatives for the time-tested centrifuge and porous
filters/membranes – Microfluidic techniques offer alternatives, but handling
1-mL [or larger] samples with μfluidics can be a challenge.

High-throughput On-chip Whole-organism Manipulation for In-vivo Drug and Genetic
Discoveries
Mehmet Fatih Yanik, Associate Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
We present key microfluidic and ultrafast optical technologies for
high-throughput whole-organism manipulations for complex genetic and drug
studies at sub-cellular resolution in vivo. In particular, we used these
technologies to perform large-scale in vivo chemical screens to identify
neuroregenerative compounds.

Increasing Lab-on-a-chip Data Density Through Improved Fabrication Techniques
Wilbur Catabay
, Vice President Technology, SVTC Technologies
Decreasing cost per sequence requires increasing data density on lab-on-a-chip.
We will share how to utilize fine lithography, etch and bonding capabilities
typically only available in advanced semiconductor facilities to achieve current
and future data density requirements.
