Opportunity to Visit all vendor virtual booths. Live booths are occupied by a real person. Others show a rolling presentation and have hotlinks to broschures or videos and blue button to call a member of staff. In San Francisco there are also real table top demos in the Foyer.

Physically - Arrivals and Networking over Coffee.

Opportunity for physical delegates in San Francisco to work the room, visit the demo tables (from Citrogene, Eden Microfluidics, Fluigent, Femtoprint, Wainamics, z-Microsystems, Hicomp and Nanovoxel) and sample the coffee and biscuits

Virtually Stroll around the event, try out the virtual booths and networking features (using the networking area to make random introductions to other delegates)

Peter Hewkin (MF15 facilitator) Welcome and House Rules

Stanford and UCSF Research Talks from :

Reza Rasouli "Microfluidic Image-Activated Sorting of Oocytes and Spheroids Using CNN: A High-Throughput Platform for Cell Biology Research" 

Xiangpeng Li "Droplet microfluidics based single bacteria sequencing, method development and applications"

Opportunity for physical delegates in San Francisco to work the room, visit the demo tables (from Citrogene, Eden Microfluidics, Fluigent, Femtoprint, Wainamics, z-Microsystems, Hicomp and Nanovoxel) and sample the coffee and biscuits

“Consumables for life sciences & diagnostics applications made of glass – challenges and opportunities” IMT

"Permanent Hydrophilization of Particularly Dynamic Materials and Surfaces" SuSoS

“Synergies in Microfluidics: Unlocking the Advantages of Capabilities in Multiple Materials" Micronit

"Plastic microfluidic consumables: Milestones from development to production" z-microsystems

Chance to visit the table top demos from Eden Tech, Fluigent, Femtoprint, Wainamics, Nanovoxel, Hicomp and z-microsystems

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Research

"Advanced manufacturing paves the way for novel sample environments for biological research". 

Microfluidics Applications Best Practice

Mariam Assidian "The new frontier of advanced, laser, micro-manufacturing for glass microfluidics"

Victor Cahoreau " Microfluidics Scale-up kit"

Elena Beletkaia (Philips) "MEMS microfluidics manufacturing"

Ming Tan Wainamics : "Microfluidics in Space"

Part of the Microfluidics Consortium's mission is to engage with exciting start-ups around the world. To facilitate this we will hear presentations from hot microfluidics enabled startups including :

Citrogene (US) "Advances in Glass Microfabrication for Microfluidic Devices"

Nanovoxel (Austria) "3D printed tools for microfluidics master moulds"

EarthOne USA) "Synthetic Biology Platform"

These will be streamed from the event in San Francisco to Hopin

Opportunity for MF15 members to engage virtually n a discussion about how we can work together to grow the Microfluidics Industry

This is a great way to have a quick 'get to know you' chat with another delegate ..its not as cringeworthy as it sounds! Try it! Works best using the Hopin app on your phone.

Headline theme: Additive Manufacturing and Microfluidics

6:00-6:45 Arrivals, Networking and Buffet

6:45-7:00 Introduction of BAMN team and sponsor

7:00 - 8:00 Presentation compared by Thomas Carey With keynote talks from

Domenico Foglia (Nanovoxel) and Professor Greg Nordin (BYU)

8:15 close

Register direct with BAMN here

For our European and Pacific Rim members we will be replaying some of the presentations for 48 hours after the programme in San Francisco closes.

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

SLAC is one of the 17 laboratories in the US Department of Energy national lab system. It is operated by Stanford University for the DOE office of Science on 426 acres of Stanford-owned land. SLAC employs 1,600 people, and hosts thousands of scientists each year at its user facilities. SLAC is home to two X-ray facilities, the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). 

Flowing liquids are excellent targets for X-ray studies as either a sample carrier or the sample itself. In-chip flows are useful at SSRL where the nearly continuous X-ray intensity can be used to probe liquids that are refreshed faster that radiation damage can occur. LCLS is a pulsed X-ray source which uses high intensity, femtosecond pulses that would damage any flow cell in a single shot. To avoid radiation damage, a set of off-chip, free liquid devices producing jets, sheets, and drops has been developed. 

We plan a 2 hour visit. 1hr on microfluidic devices and 1hr on walking tour. Meet at Security gate 9:45

DELEGATE INSTRUCTIONS: IMPORTANT!

A DOE FORM WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETED 48 HOURS BEFORE THE VISIT contact ceo@cfbi.com for the link

WE MEET AT SECURITY AT THE MAIN GATE AT 10am sharp. Be there early!!

Stanford Microfluidics Laboratory

The Stanford Microfluidics Laboratory operates under the direction of Juan G. Santiago. A major theme of the lab is the exploitation of the physical regimes associated with micro- and nanoscale transport to achieve new functionalities. The long-term goal is to develop new technologies to benefit humankind and educate future leaders in our field.

Delegates will see a short presentation covering the on-going project at Stanford microfluidics lab, including capacitive deionization (CDI), DNA dynamics in nanochannel, isotachophoresis (ITP), and high speed egg sorting. Furtermore, the delegates will see multiple experimental setups, including fluoresecent microscopes, structured-light illumination microscopes, fluidized bed for metal-organic-framework (MOF) testing, high-end 3D printer specialized for microfluidics, and PCR machines for CRISPR studies.

If you are speaking today we recommend that you test out your computer audio/video/screenshare - to avoid problems when you are live! Peter will be in Paris and in control of the backstage links if you are speaking to the main stage.
