In the course 163.178: Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies, you'll start to learn about miniaturized technologies. We'll explore the basic principles and hands-on applications of lab-on-a-chip devices, which are small-scale platforms for conducting experiments. Throughout the course, you'll learn about the design, fabrication, front-end processing, back-end processing and functionality of these devices, with a focus on practical aspects such as their use in chemical analysis, bioassays, and diagnostics.

This lecture aims to provide an accessible overview of the innovative field of organ-on-a-chip technologies. The course covers diverse aspects, including the design of organ-on-a-chip devices, their applications in drug testing and disease modeling, and the potential impact on advancing biomedical research. In this lecture you will have the opportunity to choose a recent publication in the field of o organ-on-a-chip devices. For the given paper a 20-30 min presentation is prepared in a team which you present with in the lecture.

In the course Rapid Prototyping of Microfluidic Devices course, participants will development and manufacturing microfluidic devices. Through a set of provided slides participants will engage in a self-study using CAD software, to create digital prototypes. The course then involves a design workshop where participants fabrication devices and perform functional testing. The findings from the functional testing are summarized in a report, allowing participants to analyze and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of their created prototypes. Through this hands-on approach, participants are expected to enhance their knowledge of rapid prototyping for microfluidic devices, covering methods, software utilization, and relevant calculations.

In this lectures participants will learn about biochip technologies in the context of analytical chemistry. It explores the basic principles and practical applications of biochips, highlighting their role in integrating biological components for various analytical purposes. The lecture covers a range of bioanalytical techniques enabled by biochips, including DNA and protein analysis, cell studies, and point-of-care diagnostics. Real-world examples and case studies are incorporated to illustrate the practical implications of biochip technologies in advancing analytical methodologies.
