Microfluidics is a forward-looking technology focused on the precise control and analysis of tiny liquid volumes at a microscopic scale. It enables highly accurate processes in chemistry, biotechnology, medical technology, and industry. From lab-on-a-chip systems for medical diagnostics to microfluidic sensors and inkjet printheads, microfluidic technologies have become indispensable across numerous industries.
The advantages of microfluidics lie in miniaturization, resource efficiency, and the ability to control highly specific reactions in real-time. However, cross-industry challenges arise, such as selecting suitable materials, optimizing manufacturing techniques, or developing new norms and standards.
At the Microfluidics Group, we bring together experts from various application fields to discuss technological challenges, analyze the latest developments, and develop joint strategies. While microfluidic systems are essential in many industries, some recurring key issues include:
The focus group serves as an exclusive forum where professionals from industry and research can engage in discussions at eye level. In addition to diverse presentation formats, interactive dialogue is a core focus: members benefit from valuable knowledge transfer, avoid unnecessary learning curves, and can develop new solution approaches through collective discussions.

For IVAM members, participation in focus group meetings is free of charge. Non-members may attend up to three times for a fee. In such cases, we charge an administrative fee, which is due even in case of non-attendance. However, it is always possible to designate a substitute participant at no additional cost.
IVAM members can log in to their member accounts to read and to download all documents of the Focus Group. Focus Group participants who are not members of IVAM can contact microfluidics@ivam.de to get information.
Take the opportunity to connect with leading experts in the microfluidics industry, discuss current challenges, and shape the future of this technology. Contact us for more information or to register for the next meeting of the IVAM Focus Group Microfluidics.
