Submission Format, Participant-Only Technical Digest, and Optional DOI

Hot Topics
In 2026, we are highlighting four "hot topics" for the conference: (1) Microphysiological Systems and Organoids, (2) Wearables and Hand-held Devices, (3) Microfluidics as Facilitating Technology, and (4) Micro and Nanophotonic Technologies. If your abstract fits one of these topics, be sure to select the relevant "hot topics" box when you submit (in addition to the relevant Category).

Submit Your Paper Once
Your only submission to the MicroTAS 2026 Conference is the two-page submission due on 19 May. Your submission should include one page of text and one page of figures. Please follow the guidelines, templates, and examples provided. While it is preferred that all figures be on the second page, it is also acceptable for one figure to be included on the first page (as per the past example abstracts), as long as all of the other formatting rules are followed.
