Sebastain Soeckeler z-microsystems

z-microsystems is specialist for microfluidic consumables and Lab-on-a-chip

applications, from development to high volume production of micro-structured

plastic parts. Micro-tooling and micro injection moulding is our passion. 60 years of

experience and a fresh and dynamic team is awaiting you. We would like to be your

inspiring partner from the idea to highvolume production.

Samuele Tosatti Susos

At SuSoS we offer various solutions for surface technology, such as coating products—coated devices or coating chemicals—and services such as coating, surface analysis and contract research.

Since 2004, we have focused on researching the chemical interactions between substrates and coatings, in order to broaden our understanding and optimize and

fine-tune these interactions for many different applications.

Mariam Assidian IMT/Heidenhain “Droplet Generation: How microfluidic architecture and surface chemistry both play key roles”

Double emulsion droplets have a wide variety of uses from the biotech industry to

the food industry to the cosmetics industry. It is important to control the size and

composition of your double emulsion droplet in order to yield your desired results.

By combining elegant architecture and surface chemistry, one can create

consistent droplets for an assortment of downstream applications. Furthermore

we have demonstrated that all techniques employed are bio-compatible and do

not cause any evidence of cytotoxicity.

11:00 Coffee Break / Networking / Table-Top Demos

11:30 Session 6 Research

Ryan Koppes, Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering,

Northeastern University

Dr. Koppes is developing technologies to break the barrier between synthetic electronics and biological tissue for future onboard diagnostics and repair for cardiovascular disease. In parallel to this aim, he is broadening the understanding of the autonomic nervous system and the bi-directional flow of information between the brain and the cardiovascular system. His work includes polymeric neural interface technologies, with special interest in exploring neuromodulation of

the autonomic nervous system for cardiac health and repair.

Carlos Hidrovo, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Industrial

Engineering, Northeastern University

Dr. Hidrovo’s work in microfluidics centers around two main topics. The first is gas-

liquid droplet microflows for the development of next generation droplet microfluidic

systems, with applications in biochemical sensing and healthcare (drug delivery). The

second key focus is the use of surface microtexturing in microfluidics for friction

reduction. This reduces power consumption and consequently the required ancillary

components needed for operation. This also allows for enhanced convective transport

for better heat dissipation in microchannel cooling applications, such as electronics.

12:15 Session 7 – looking ahead. Microfluidics for Therapeutics

“Particle engineering – integrating microfluidics with novel reagents for higher throughput and performance” Richard Gray.

Richard will talk about the ParticleGEN co-development consortium with lead users

to deliver a new generation of industrial scale particle encapsulation.

. Richard founded Syrris Ltd with Mark Gilligan in 2001, moving to the USA in 2004

to manage the Group’s US subsidiaries. Richard’s background includes fast-track

product and process development in consumer, medical device and industrial

sectors. Before Syrris, Richard was a General Manager in Mettler

Toledo’s Automated Chemistry Group, starting up and leading a 50-strong team in design and manufacturing

Profiles of Table Top Demonstrations

Since 2006, Fluigent develops, manufactures and commercializes innovative microfluidic flow control and

fluid handling solutions for laboratories, research units and industrials around the world

Enabling full control of your microfluidic systems through pressure, flow and

electrical monitoring, Fluigent technologies provide innovating solutions for all

your microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip applications (droplet-based drug testing,

chromatography, cell perfusion, flow chemistry, cells and parasites separation,

dielectophoresis, highly viscous fluids and liquid air manipulations, gene

expression analysis in microdroplet, etc).

Indeed, Fluigent has created the market of pressure-driven flow controllers for microfluidic applications and

low volume fluid handling. The products are based on the patented FASTAB technology optimizing stability

and responsiveness of the flow inside your microfluidic systems (chip, microarray, etc).

In addition to the FASTAB technology, Fluigent owns or licences a portfolio of patents worldwide covering its

core technologies in microfluidic flow control, Lab-on-a-chip devices, diagnosis and life science analysis (cell

capture, etc).

Speaking of the Industry world and Research, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes used to say that « both have everything to gain by working together ». Regarding the frontiers between scientific domains, he stressed that we should be able to overcome them in order to make each scientific domain more successful and fully exploit their potentials. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Institute – IPGG – has been created along these lines of thought: its goal is to bring together, in a cross-disciplinary domain (microfluidics), experts from various disciplines (physics, biology, chemistry, technology), and develop both fundamental

and applied research. Industrial domains interested by microfluidics are numerous (food industry, medicinal field, cosmetics, oil industry, instrumentation, ...).

Two-time future investments (PSL Equipex & Labex), IPGG brings together all of microfluidics research activities on the Montagne Sainte Geneviève. – Paris. IPGG was inaugurated on 14 March 2016 in the presence of the President of the French Republic François Hollande and the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo. IPGG come from 4 top-flight research institution : ESPCI Paris, Curie Institut, ENS et Chimie ParisTech.

Susos knowledge can be divided into four different areas:

Polymer-based, thin-film coatings: Using thin films that are only a few nm thick, you can completely change the surface properties of your product. Various functionalities, such as high lubricity under dry and wet conditions, non-fouling properties, or the selective binding of proteins or antibodies on sensor surfaces, can be seamlessly achieved. We also specialize in adhesion promoters and primers. Coating service: We can coat small series (up to 100 000 parts per annum) right in our own facilities in Dübendorf. With our automated robotic coating system, we are developing industrial coating processes, and supporting our

partners with on-site industrial implementation. Surface-analysis service: With our state-of-the-art analytical technologies, we are able to support

you with the characterization of your product and also with product troubleshooting. Chemical and elemental composition, surface topography, coefficient of friction, film thickness or wetting behavior are just some of the many properties we can analyze for you.

Contract Research: We research and implement new technologies; our work is fast, flexible and transparent. Novel applications can be transferred swiftly and easily for your benefit.

What makes us different from our competitors? From our initial contact through to the final implementation, we accompany our clients every step of the way. We attach enormous importance to the all-round service we offer to our customers, from our evaluation of the problem, through advice that is precisely tailor-made to the needs of each customer, to joint project implementation
