Microfluidic chips, also known as Lab-on-a-chip, are devices that allow precise manipulation of fluids in micron-scale channels. They enable various functions of traditional physical, chemical, or biological experiments to be performed on a tiny chip, integrating essential operations such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, and detection into a single microscale platform, and complete the whole analysis process automatically. As "chips," they are naturally compact, lightweight, and portable. Additionally, due to their microscopic scale, they require minimal sample volumes, operate at high speeds, and can process multiple tasks in parallel. It can be said that it transforms the traditional large laboratory into a portable handheld laboratory, so it has also been more and more applied in the field of life science and technology. A report titled "Lab on a Chip" published in Nature, highlights microfluidic chips as one of the "Seven Technologies of the Century."
This project collaborates with leading experts in the field of microfluidics to guide students in understanding the principles and applications of microfluidics, learning the basic methods of fabricating microfluidic chips, and gaining a comprehensive appreciation of their transformative and innovative impact on the life sciences.

Why Us

History

XLAB has a 20+ year history. It was initiated by Professor Neher of the University of Göttingen in Germany and strongly supported by the German government and the University of Göttingen. XLAB, centered around high-end scientific experiments, is widely favored by over 10,000 students yearly. XLAB has established practice centers worldwide, aiming to expand this unique concept and teaching method to reach more students.

XLAB aims to enable more people to learn and experience the joy of science, encouraging them to explore the mysteries of science and consider how to use science to solve human problems. Therefore, XALB's subjects are generally more complex in physics, biology, or medicine. Instead, they focus more on interdisciplinary, cutting-edge topics such as genetic engineering, medical research, nanobiology, medical chemistry, high-energy physics, and more.

Subject

Experiment

Experiments are the core of the XLAB. Each participant can enter advanced laboratories to conduct safe experiments, analyze data, and write experiment reports. Over six hours of scientific research daily enhances students' scientific knowledge and logical thinking and cultivates concentration and endurance. Students will be able to experience the work content and status firsthand and consider whether to choose a research direction in future education.

The courses in XLAB are unique. They consist of four key modules: Subject Introduction and Program Thinking, Scientific Research Teaching, Laboratory Operations, Experimental Data Analysis, and Research Report Writing. All courses are taught in small groups of 10 to 25 students.

Course

Faculty

Experts are invited to design experiments and teach students since the topics and content of XLAB exceed the curriculum of high schools and are specialized in specific research areas. Relevant scientific research institutions support XLAB China and provide an in-depth academic experience for Chinese students based on its unique teaching methods and experimental requirements.

Two authoritative certificates are available: the XLAB Program Certificate of Participation, which details the experimental content and is signed by instructors. Students will complete an academic report containing experimental results and data analysis to apply for the ASDAN "Science Award" Certificate for 30 credit hours of study officially accredited by UCAS.

Certificate

Research

XALB provides invaluable research scenarios for students who plan or are currently engaged in natural science research-oriented learning, such as EPQ or scientific papers, to implement their research plans and participate in hands-on scientific research. Experimental reports can be considered as part of their research achievements.
