The 4th International Conference on Microfluidic Handling Systems (MFHS 2019) focuses mainly on the technology, components, devices and systems that enable the application in microfluidic systems. We invite submission of papers on systems and devices for accurate handling (analysis, dosing, measurement and control) of (extremely) small mass flow rates of both gases and liquids, and corresponding measurement and control principles, including but not limited to:
- Thermal, ultrasonic, Coriolis and other principles for flow measurement
- Piezo-electric, electromagnetic, electrostatic and other principles for flow control
- Electronic instrumentation, closed loop control systems
- Innovative methods in calibration equipment and methodology
- Micro- and nanomachining, 3D printing and other fabrication technologies
- Device or wafer level characterization, packaging and testing
- Application proposals
The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sensors: Flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature, conductivity, heat capacity, density, pH, refractive index
- Actuators: Valves, pumps, mixers, dispensers, droplet generators
- Interfaces: Electronic instrumentation, fluidic connections, assembly, packaging, testing
- Fluidic control systems: Mass flow controllers, precision mixing, dosing and dispensing, calibration, multiparameter systems, evaporators
- Applications: Gas chromatographs, liquid chromatographs, medical analyses, micro reaction systems, bio-analytical systems, flow chemistry, organ-on-a-chip, production of pharmaceuticals
