Overview
The annual user conference "DROPLET2026: One Drop Makes The Difference," focused on droplet technology, will be held at Akihabara UDX on June 4 and 5, 2026.
The event is organized by On-chip Biotechnologies. The fourth edition covers microfluidics and droplet technology, single-cell analysis, microbial screening, molecular evolution engineering, and related research and technology topics.
Highlights
Day one centers on keynote and invited lectures, with online simultaneous streaming planned. Day two is on-site only and includes 32 poster presentations, research consultation matching, new product experience booths, and a photo contest.
Poster topics are set to include high-throughput screening of microbes and phages using water-in-oil droplets, searches for biodegradable-plastic-degrading microbes and enzymes, and molecular evolution engineering combining cell-free protein synthesis systems with droplets.
Attendance is free, with only the networking exchange session costing ¥1,000, payable at reception. The application deadline is listed as May 31, 2026.
