CHI's LAB-ON-A-CHIP AND MICROARRAYS EUROPE

September 21, 2001

Cambridge Healthtech Institute, Swissotel Zurich, Zurich Switzerland
January 14-16, 2002

The future is now. Miniaturized platform technologies are no longer new concepts. Ease of use, speed, and the potential for cost reduction have driven lab-on-a-chip and microarray technologies. Research has proven the proof of principle for specific applications. Innovations in technology and the resulting applications are the focus of CHI's Fourth Annual Lab-on-a-Chip and Microarrays for Post-Genome Applications. Join your colleagues to share the advances of science's most rapidly advancing field.
