Microfabrication techniques for Microfluidics

Lecturer:

Dr. Corinna Maaß, Dr. Stefan Karpitschka

Course typ:

Blockveranstaltung

Description:

A preparatory meeting will take place pripor to the course.

Microfluidics is widely used as a platform to study biophysics, biotechnology, small scale fluid mechanics etc. In this two-day course, the students will acquire basic knowledge about microfluidics and gain hands-on experience on fabrication and characterization techniques. The training includes soft lithography and chemical surface treatment to fabricate microfluidic chips and micro-patterned surfaces. Next, students will be shown how to use these tools for applications in microbial populations in microfluidic model habitats and wetting and interfacial phenomena. This will be followed by characterization of the produced samples using microscopy and ImageJ and Matlab softwares. The participants do not need any specific previous knowledge to attend the course.
