European Lab-on-a-Chip & Microfluidics Conference 2019:

Dublin, Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Lab-on-a-Chip & Microfluidics Europe 2019" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2019 now in its 11th year brings together researchers and industry participants from both academia and industry focusing on technology and innovation in the Lab-on-a-Chip (LOAC) and Microfluidics fields. Presentations will explore the latest advances in the Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Fields. Focus at this conference will also be given to some of the many applications of Lab-on-a-Chip, from life science research, to taking diagnostics to the point-of-care/point-of-need and body-on-a-chip/organs-on-a-chip. We focus on LOAC device production technologies, novel designs/technologies for manufacture, as well as the key application areas for LOAC from research to diagnostics. There is an Extensive International Perspective at this Conference with Speakers, Poster Presenters, Sponsors, and Exhibitors from Europe, US, and Asia/Pacific. Running alongside the conference will be an exhibition covering the latest technological advances and associated products and services from leading solution providers within this field from around the world. Registered delegates will have full access to the co-located and concurrent conference tracks to mix-and-match presentations and maximize networking:

• Lab-on-a-Chip and Microfluidics Europe 2019
• Organ-on-a-Chip and Tissue-on-a-Chip Europe 2019
• Point-of-Care, Biosensors & Mobile Diagnostics 2019

There are ample opportunities for networking and this ensures a very cost-effective conference trip. The Exhibit Hall is Co-Located with the Conference Tracks in the de Doelen Conference Center for Excellent Networking Opportunities (Collaboration Opportunities, Sales Opportunities for Vendors, as well as Business Development and Partnering Opportunities). Exhibit Hall is Open all day on 18-19 June 2019. The Rotterdam venue offers unparalleled access from destinations across Europe and around-the-world.
