The entire Elveflow team is proud to be part of the microfluidic community where new ideas nurture and can then be transformed by innovative industrial partners such as Elveflow into technologies and products.
In 2021, the 25th edition of the MicroTAS International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences will be hosted in Palm Spring, California, USA on October 10-14th. MicroTAS, aka, µTAS is the major conference for miniaturized systems – microfluidics – for a wide variety of applications ranging from chemistry to life science, organized by the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS).
This year, the MicroTAS conference will be a hybrid conference both IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL.
The exact location of the µTAS conference will be : Palm Springs Convention Center and Virtual | 277 North Avenida Caballeros | Palm Springs, California, USA.
Chairs this year in Palm Spring will be :
Elveflow has been a long-term sponsor of MicroTAS symposiums since the foundation of the company in 2011. Among the founders, Guilhem Velve-Casquillas, Maël Leberre and Adrien Plecis were already microfluidic-addicts attending MicroTAS as researchers.
Elveflow will be happy to have a chat and discuss microfluidics (of course!) and performant instrumentation to handle fluids. Let’s meet at booth 29!
You can check our sponsor page and / or book a meeting with our sales specialists!

User-friendliness is a characteristic claimed by the organizers and participants of MicroTAS. µTAS meetings offer an opportunity to meet peers, network around microfluidics and its applications and enjoy social events, including beer time.
The very first edition of µTAS took place in Enschede, Netherlands in 1994. Chairs Prof. Albert van der Berg and Prof. Piet Bergveld both recognized their surprise when 170+ participants attended the event, a majority of researchers from Europe. The conference focused on three topics: (i) basic concepts of μTAS technologies and components, (ii) industrial applications, (iii) gas and liquid analysis systems.
Chair: H. Michael Widmer
Attendees: 470 (the microfluidic event took place took place in conjunction with the International Exhibition and Conference for Chemical Technology, Analytical Technology and Biotechnology (ilmac))
Conference topics:
Prof. Michael Widmer focused on bringing together the academic community and the industrial partners.
First edition in North America!
Chair: D. Jed Harrison
Attendees: 400+
Back to Microtas origins with chair Albert van den Berg.
Attendees: around 500
The microfluidics folks jump to the Western US coast in Monterey, California for the fifth edition of µTAS. The success of this microfluidic world congress pushed the community to schedule a yearly congress instead of waiting until 2002.
This event was held just some weeks after September 11, creating some confusion around the organisation. Nevertheless, chairman J. Michael Ramsey successfully hosted 800 participants. What a success for the microfluidic community!
Chairman Prof. Yoshinobu Baba and Prof. Shuichi Shoji discussed as early as 1998 the possibility of bringing µTAS to Asia. Four years later, this was a reality in Nara, Japan with 750 participants.
Chair: M. Allen Northrup
Attendees: 650
Chairs: Thomas Laurell and Jörg Kutter
Attendees: 683
Chair: Klavs Jensen Applications shown up during this 9th edition covered systems for drug delivery, tissue engineering; cell growth, and individual genes and proteins. The 800+ participants enjoyed sharing new tools and opportunities in microfabrication, microfluidics, and biomedicine…
Chairs: Takehiko Kitamor and Hiroyuki Fujita
Applications in cell biology and -omics were commonly using microfluidics. Downscaling with nanofluidics was a new trend both in chemistry (e.g. parallel synthesis) or biology (e.g. single cell studies).
For the first time, over 1000 attendees enjoyed microfluidics in Tokyo!
First stop in Paris where Jean-Louis Viovy had the pleasure to host over 1000 participants at the Musée d’Orsay.
12th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences.
Chair: Laurie Locascio
Once again, many advances of microfluidics for biological applications. This edition launched an “Art in Science” award dedicated to microfluidics called “Under the Looking Glass: Art from the World of Small Science”. This is now a continuous topic of interest for the community with labs such as the Albert Folch’s “different lab”.
Later on, Elvesys also pushed on this aspect. If your curious, have a glimpse to tuned flowers by Lisa Muiznieks or the poetry project by Julien Ridouard.
Chairs: Tae Song Kim and Yoon-Sik Lee.
Despite a background of world economical crisis, the 13th microfluidics annual meeting was another success.
Europe, North America, Asia…the continental rotation is settled.
Chair: Sabeth Verpoorte
Lab-on-chips, point-of-care devices…microfluidics starts to find key applications. Small scales for large impact!
Chair: James P. Landers

The earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011 affected the Japanese community participation to µTAS 2013. It also concerned the Okinawa organising committee but the conference could finally take place in serene conditions.
Chair: Roland Zengerle
A particular effort has been given to strengthen the relationships between academia and industrial partners through industrial talks and optimized space organization for sponsors’ exhibition booths.
Chairs: Stephen C. Jacobson and Jörg Kutter
The event now hosts over 1000 participants each year.
Chair: Je-Kyun Park
Chairs: Nicole Pamme, Jens Ducrée
With over 1000 participants again, the 20th µTAS conference was another success. More than 50 companies joined the exhibition sessions and participated together with the attendees to the industrial stage talks.
Chairs: Abe Lee and Don DeVoe
A very wide range of applications were covered during this event: fundamental micro- and nanotechnologies, nano- and microengineering, sensors and actuators, integrated platforms, cell and vesicule analysis and manipulation, organs-on-chip, diagnostics, theranostics, translational medicine and chemical applications too.
Lab-to-product transition was also promoted with a startup competition inviting project leaders to pitch their microfluidic technologies.
Chairs: Fan-Gang ‘Kevin’ Tseng and Gwo-Bin ‘Vincent’ Lee
Chairs: Petra Dittrich, Andreas Hierlemann and Emmanuel Delamarche
Due to the COVID-19 pandemia, the 24th edition of MicroTAS was a 100% online conference.
