USWNet stands for 'Ultrasonic Standing Wave Network' and was
initiated in 2003 in the UK bringing together a diversity of
scientists and technologists with interests touching on particle
and fluid movement by standing wave vibrations. The conference
is aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the phenomena
and increasing their impact on research and commercial applications.
The 8th annual USWNet meeting is run as a satellite meeting preceding the 14th International Conference for Chemistry and Life Science, uTAS 2010, in Groningen www.microtas10.org.
The idea is to enable the global community of microfluidics to interact with the rapidly growing community of ultrasonic standing wave technology. Exciting developments are reported at an increased rate where the combinaton of microfluidics and cell and particle manipulation in microsystems by means of ultrasonic standing wave forces are key components for success.
It is my hope that by running the 8th USWNet conferece in close proximity with MicroTAS 2010 it will bring an added value to both communities and that new interdisciplinary initiatives and collaborations will be triggered.
