NGM partners SCIENION and Micro Resist Technology GmbH hosted our M48 consortium and review meeting from 11-12 June 2024 in Berlin. The two-day event gave us ample time to present our results so far with our project officer and reviewer – and to discuss the strategy for the remaining year of the project. We were proud to present results from our 5 demo cases and 18 funded Open Call cases, showing that there is real demand for a single entry point in microfluidic innovation, Microfluidics Innovation Hub. We had the chance to tour SCIENION’s facilities, offering ultra-low volume liquid handl ..read more

NextGenMicrofluidics among 15 projects nominated for the applied research prize of the B&C Private Foundation   Miniaturized laboratories, so-called microfluidic “lab-on-a-foil” chips, are becoming increasingly important for medical applications, food and feed analyses, environmental monitoring and the local on-demand production of pharmaceuticals. Martin Smolka and his team at JOANNEUM RESEARCH in Weiz are leading the EU project “NextGenMicrofluidics”, in which the cost-effective and scalable production of chips is being developed with customers for their applications. At the same t ..read more

The NGM consortium was privileged to tour the Applied Biophysics and Functional Nanocoatings Lab, led by George Tsekenis, at the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens. Here is a peek into their optimization of biochemical assays based on #aptamers, CD #spectroscopy and Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM). Description of the process flow usually followed at the Applied Biophysics and Functional Nanocoatings laboratory at BRFAA for the development and optimization of a biochemical assay based on aptamers. Aptamers are functional nucleic acids, whose 3D structure allows them to s ..read more

The SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics, Advanced Lithography + Patterning #SPIElitho, took place in San Jose, California, from 25-29 February. It is the event for the lithography community, both academics and industry to meet and discuss latest trends and future developments. One of this year’s topics was sustainability and how the community can work on decreasing their carbon, but also PFAS footprint. At the conference, NGM partner Micro Resist Technology GmbH presented its latest research results and their innovative company. Mirko Lohse of MRT gives a presentation at S ..read more
