| 636-0203-00L | Lab Course: Microsystems and Microfluidics in Biology  The lab course is open for MSc Biotechnology students only. | 3 credits | 5P | P. S. Dittrich, A. Hierlemann | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This practical course is an introduction to microsystems technology and microfluidics for the life sciences. It includes basic concepts of microsystem design, fabrication, and assembly into an experimental setup. Biological applications include a variety of measurements of cellular and tissue signals and subsequent analysis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The students are introduced to the basic principles of microsystems technology. They get acquainted with practical scientific work and learn the entire workflow of (a) understanding the theoretical concept, (b) planning the experiment, (c) engineering of the needed device, (d) execution of the experiment and data acquisition, (e) data evaluation and analysis, and (f) reporting and discussion of the results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The practical course will consist of a set of 4 experiments. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Notes and guidelines will be provided at the beginning of the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
