Symposium on Microscale Separations and Bioanalysis

The MSB Symposium Series promotes the discussion of fundamental and application-driven aspects of microscale separations and bioanalysis. The symposium program is comprised of thought-leaders and emerging scientists from both the academic and industrial communities who will discuss in depth the development and applications of microscale separations and bioanalysis. Microscale separations enable high-throughput and/or high-performance analyses at reduced costs and with a lower sample and solvents consumption, being therefore highly competitive analytical approaches in today's research, including fundamental research, drug discovery and development, clinical and forensic toxicology, food analysis, and -omics approaches.

The conference program covers aspects related to all major microscale separation techniques including capillary electrophoresis (CE), nano- and micro-liquid chromatography (LC), microfluidics, mass spectrometry (MS), CE-MS, Lab-on-a-Chip devices the fundamental aspects of micro- and nanofluidics, microchip fabrication, portable devices, as well as applications related to pharmaceutical sciences, biotechnology, clinical Diagnostics, forensic toxicology, omics techniques (proteomics, metabolomics, etc.), food analysis, nanoparticles, industrial chemicals, etc.

The philosophy of the MSB symposia aims at encouraging the presentation and discussion of new, hot, sometimes controversial, but mostly unpublished results.
Oral presentations are time wise split in 2/3 talk and 1/3 discussion.
Forum encourages vigorous scientific discussions between participants with the support of committed and engaged session chairs.
