Webinar- Flow Control in Microfluidics
Improve Reproducibility and Smooth Workflows
As the field of microfluidics advances, flow rate control becomes increasingly important for the success of an experiment or product development. The choice of the right flow controller can contribute positively to this .
This webinar, will provide insights from experts in the field on selecting the right flow controller for your application, from cell biology to droplet microfluidics.
Learn the different methods used for managing liquids in microfluidics, their advantages, and limitations. Prof. Jean-Louis Viovy, pioneer in microfluidics and pressure-based flow control, will explain the rationale behind the creation of pressure controllers in his laboratory more than 15 years ago, and why it is becoming the gold standard for microfluidics.
In the webinar we will compare different flow control technologies with key applications in microfluidics including droplet microfluidics, microfluidic cell culture, and cell analysis experiments.
Our invited speaker, Dr. Alexandre Grassart, will provide in depth discussion into the use of pressure-driven flow control for laboratory microfluidic research with a specific case study: state-of-the-art in vitro models biomimicking the microenvironment of human organs on a chip.
