Advances in Microfluidic Separations for Biological and Pharmaceutical Applications

Description:
Microfluidic analyses offer numerous benefits compared to traditional bioanalytical techniques. These miniaturized systems afford faster analysis times, require less sample volume, and can integrate sample preparation and analysis into a single platform. Recent innovations have expanded analytical capabilities in these devices while significantly reducing their production costs. Miniaturized analyzers that no longer require elaborate microfabrication are key to translating these methods out of the research lab and into the “real world”.

This symposium highlights innovations in microfluidic separations to better interrogate biological samples and assess the quality of pharmaceuticals while minimizing expense. Presentations discuss techniques including electrophoresis, chromatography, and lateral flow assays operated in microfluidic formats. Speakers highlight improvements in analytical performance versus previously established methods and discuss how these new low-complexity schemes are translated for biomedical applications.
