Welcome to the BIOS / Lab on a chip group

The BIOS Lab-on-a-Chip chair (“Miniaturized systems for biomedical and environmental applications”) aims at the research and development of Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) systems.

It is our mission to:

· Further the knowledge and understanding of nanofluidics and nanosensing

· Bridge gap between users from physical, chemical, biomedical and life-science fields

· Develop new micro- and nano-technologies for Lab on a Chip systems

· Demonstrate the potential of LOC applications

Highlight: Electrokinetic Sample Focusing and Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging System for Measuring Biomolecular Interactions

We present an electrokinetic label-free biomolecular screening chip (Glass/PDMS) to screen up to 10 samples simultaneously using surface plasmon resonance imaging (iSPR). This approach reduces the duration of an experiment when compared to conventional experimental methods. This new device ... read more

Lorentz workshop

Lorentz-workshop

The workshop aims to generate novel insights and discover new possibilities at the interface of two disciplines roughly annotated as Lab-on-a-Chip technology and cell biology. The first days common concepts have to be introduced starting from a common physical phenomenon: fluid flow in confined space. In the engineering world fluid flow is optimized to satisfy design and application constraints, ... read more
