2026 Microfluidics Professional Course
CRAFT’s hands-on Microfluidics Professional Course will be offered on July 8-10, 2026.
Registration is now OPEN
Join us on July 8-10 at the University of Toronto. Get hands-on training on microfluidic device prototyping, scale-up fabrication, micro-injection molding, roll-2-roll coating, advanced 3D printing, photo & soft lithography. Application areas include molecular diagnostics & analytics, organs on chips for drug discovery, biofabrication, chemical and materials synthesis, and energy. The Microfluidics Professional Course is a 3-day crash course for industrial/academic researchers with little or no experience in the microfluidics field. Led by our expert staff, and utilizing our state of the art cleanroom facility, labs will cover various fabrication techniques including prototyping of polymer devices using lithography and 3D printing, and small scale-up fabrication of thermoplastic devices for commercialization using injection molding and roll-2-roll coating. In our CL2 bio facilities we will cover cell/tissue culture techniques and advanced imaging for validating and carrying out MF experiments. At the end of the course you will have been exposed to a variety of the latest research being carried out using MF platforms as well as utilized the newest high-tech instrumentation to manufacture your own MF device.
