Friday 27 February 2026, Full day, Advanced Research Centre, University of Glasgow
The consortium of Metrology Partnership project Establishing metrology standards in microfluidic devices II (24NRM03, MFMET II) are organising this workshop, which will provide a focused forum to identify scientific, technological and regulatory bottlenecks that currently limit the translation of microfluidic and organ-on-chip systems into real-world applications.
Microfluidic platforms and organ-on-chip models have matured into powerful tools for controlling cellular microenvironments, modelling tissue function and probing drug responses with high spatiotemporal precision. Yet, despite impressive progress at the proof-of-concept level, widespread adoption in industry and healthcare remains challenging.
This one-day event will bring together stakeholders from industry, academia and government institutions to discuss practical routes to translation. Sessions will cover design and fabrication strategies compatible with scale-up, integration of sensing and readout modalities, standardisation and validation, and case studies of successful technology deployment.
The goal of the workshop is to map out concrete opportunities for collaboration and to define shared priorities for the microfluidics and organ-on-chip community in the coming years.
