1 COST Action Training School Optofluidic Sensor Systems and Technologies September 2015 Institute for Optofluidics and Nanophotonics (IONAS) Karlsruhe University of Applied (HsKA), Germany Introduction The Training School on Optofluidic Sensor Systems and Technologies provides a mixture of lectures, seminars and hands-on training, as well as a full-day workshop on the first day. The School will be organized at Karlsruhe University of Applied (HsKA), Institute for Optofluidics and Nanophotonics (IONAS), Karlsruhe, Germany. The School will focus on applying fabrication technologies suitable for mass-production (such as for instance UV-Nanoimprint Lithography) for optofluidic and biomedical sensing systems to facilitate the transfer between university research and industry development. COST Action members and other experts with extensive knowledge in optofluidics, optical sensing, microfluidics and biosensors will be involved as trainers. During the five days, the participants will learn about the theoretical background of optofluidics, fabricate devices and apply them for optofluidic experiments and biomedical sensing. Specific activities and workshops The Training School comprises of lectures by invited experts presented in a workshop on Monday, hands-on training sessions as well as seminars and product presentations. The participants will learn how to Describe and understand the needs for industrially relevant fabrication of (polymerbased) optofluidic sensor systems Fabricate a polymer-based sensor device using microfabrication technologies such as UV-Nanoimprint Lithography Selectively infiltrate periodic nanostructures for application in life science experiments and characterize the resulting device Construct blood analysis devices comprising a microfluidic channel network, optical waveguides and grating couplers, and a dielectrophoresis section More details can be found online at 1
