About the Microfluidics Global Expo

Join us from anywhere in the world using your Laptop or Mobile  Phone (Hopin App)!

Or participate in Members' meetings around the world in Person

Brought to you by members of the MF13 Microfluidics Consortium from around the world, the Virtual Microfluidics Global Expo is a highly interactive event with all the learning, exhibition, networking and delegate browsing features you would expect from a physical conference or  trade show. It links into small (Covid compliant) physical meetings of MF13 consortium members in: Sydney/Singapore/Cambridge/Boston/Paris/San Diego which will each manage parts of the overall programme.Delegates anywhere in the world can drop in and out of the virtual programme at any time to suit their work/life balance.  Special conditions apply to those wanting to join the physical meetings - contact ceo@cfbi.com for details Come for the insight, come for the inspiration, come for the networking and the deals!

The EXPO will cover applications of microfluidics in: Diagnostics, Therapeutics, Genomics, Cell/tissue/Organ-on-a-chip, DNA read/write,  CTC/ CT-RNA, Droplets, Sensing/ Additive Manufactur eand Scale-up. This is an opportunity to:

– hear from and question thought leading speakers from top research institutes
– visit exhibition booths hosted by leading industry vendors, see demonstrations of the latest kit and discuss with them in private where win-wins for you might lie
– meet partners, employers, customers and funders from around the world
-experience the latest virtual networking platform which allows delegates to find interesting partners, and set up 1-2-1 video meetings
- playback recordings of talks/discussion which took place outside your working day
- use our ‘Concierge Service’ designed to help delegates in real time
