CHEM 757 / Applications of Lab-on-a-chip Devices

3 unit(s)

The main objective of the course is to provide an overview of LOC (Lab-on-a-chip) technology, from the design and fabrication of microfluidic devices to elements used for processing samples within the LOC devices and integrated detectors that enable the quantitative measurement of analyte levels in the sample. The course will focus on current applications and innovative techniques arising from LOC technology. The course will also involve the review of current literature and the discussion of scientific papers in a discussion panel format, where the discussion leader will introduce the manuscript and guide the discussion and critique of the scientific content and LOC technology.
