MicroTech Lab participates in MICRO 2026 – Plastic Pollution from Macro to nano

MicroTech Lab participated in MICRO 2026 – Plastic Pollution from Macro to nano, held in Cádiz, Spain, from 12 to 16 October 2026. The international conference brought together researchers and experts from different disciplines to share knowledge and discuss approaches to plastic pollution.

During the conference, the team presented the poster “Integrated microfluidic system for preconcentration, size range sorting and Raman identification of small microplastics in water”. Developed in collaboration with INL and UDC, the work combines microfluidic preconcentration and sorting by size range with Raman identification, addressing key steps in the analysis of small microplastics in water.

Participation in MICRO 2026 offered an opportunity to exchange ideas, explore complementary scientific approaches, and establish connections for potential future collaborations.

MicroTech Lab congratulates all those involved in this collaborative research—Bruna Alvez, Amir Mohammadimehr, Joan Antoni Lopez-Martinez, Monica Quarato, Marilia Santos, Patricia Taladriz, Jasmina Casals-Terre, and Laura Rodriguez—for their contributions and dedication.

MicroTech Lab thanks Carmen Morales Caselles, the local team in Cádiz, and the international organizing team for their dedication to fostering scientific exchange on plastic pollution.
