6th Workshop on Microfluidics, State University of Campinas, Brazil

Invited keynote talk “Lab, Cells and Organ on a Chip” by Dr. Albert van den Berg (University of Twente, The Netherlands)

The 6th Workshop on Microfluidics was held at the Convention Center of UNICAMP (State University of Campinas) in Campinas, Sao Paulo (Brazil), from 20-22 July, 2016. Since 2011, the workshop has brought together young students, researchers, and companies from different states of Brazil to discuss topics related to fundamentals, fabrication technologies, innovations, and applications in microfluidic science. This field has been spread out around different regions of Brazil presenting outstanding contributions for microfabrication and microfluidic technologies.

The event was supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry for the fourth time. Prof Dosil P. de Jesus (UNICAMP), member of the 6th Workshop on Microfluidics scientific board, presented the poster competition awards, sponsored by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Lab on a Chip and Analytical Methods journals.

The winner of the Analytical Methods Poster Competition was Gabriela B. Almeida, from State University of Campinas, for her work “Microfluidic Devices Combining Dielectrophoresis Trapping and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy”.

Gabriela F. Giordano, from The Brazilian Nanotechnology National Laboratory (LNNano), Campinas, was the winner of the Lab on a Chip Poster Competition for her work “Gravity-Assisted Distillation on a Chip: a Novel Concept for Sample Preparation in Microfluidics”.

Call for Papers – Ambient Mass Spectrometry themed issue

Analytical Methods is delighted to announce a call for papers for its latest themed issue on the topic of Ambient Mass Spectrometry.

Guest Editors: Facundo M. Fernández (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) and Juan F. Garcia-Reyes (University of Jaen, Spain)

Deadline for Submission: 3rd March 2017

The purpose of this issue is to highlight the most outstanding work in ambient mass spectrometry, addressing fundamental studies and applications of these methodologies, and also to provide some insight into the newly emerging work in this important area of research.

Analytical Methods is the home of early applied demonstrations of new analytical methods with clear societal impact. The journal is one of the fastest growing general analytical journals and is published every two weeks by the Royal Society of Chemistry on a not-for-profit basis; more information about Analytical Methods can be found online. Publishing 48 issues per year, the journal will move to electronic only in 2017.

If you are interested in taking part in this issue, please email Analytical Methods at methods-rsc@rsc.org

Manuscripts can be submitted using our online submission system. Please state clearly that the manuscript you submit is for the themed issue for Ambient Mass Spectrometry. All submissions will be subject to initial assessment and peer review in the usual manner.
