During the last years, several players in the field of microfluidics have been discussing the possibility of starting a Microfluidics Association with the firm target of working towards formalizing standardisation protocols, processes and guidelines in order to serve the whole industry.
It is our firm believe that this initiative can be successful provided different players from a variety of entities (enterprises suppliers as well as customers, academic, legal…) participate with their specific know-how and abilities.
We are looking for volunteers to participate to working groups that will formulate standards and guidelines in the area of:
- Flow control
- Testing methods
- Microfluidic interfaces
- Modularity
You can choose one or more working groups where you wish to participate. Each group will be led by a working group leader. She/he will organize telconf meetings in order to assure the progress of the deliverables of each group.
This workshop will be a great and exciting opportunity for stakeholders from all over the world to join in the discussion of future developments towards the standardization in the microfluidics area and meet in face to face their working groups.
Workshop Co-Chairs:
- Nicolas Verplanck, CEA-LETI
- Henne van Heeren, enablingMNT
The provisional Steering Committee of the Microfluidics Association:
- Holger Becker, MicroFluidic Chipshop, Germany
- Marko Blom, Micronit, Netherlands
- Henne van Heeren, enablingMNT, Netherlands
- Anne Le Nel, Fluigent, France
- Darwin Reyes, NIST, USA
- Alexios Tzannis, IMT, Switzerland
