We published an article on talanta on colaboration with Micrux-fluidic and Ikerlan on the Fabrication of SU-8 based microchip electrophoresis with integrated electrochemical detection for neurotransmitters.

• Fabrication of SU-8 based microchip electrophoresis with integrated electrochemical detection for neurotransmitters

ICT results for the Optolabcard EU project published by our partner Ikerlan-IK4.

With optolabcard, a team of European researchers has created one of only two prototype systems in the world that prepare samples and perform DNA tests on bacteria in a portable, easy-to-use and cost-effective chip.

In this project to improve detection accuracy, the team incorporated a method of concentrating the sample before testing. They used magnetophoresis and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. PCR is a well-established method of replicating DNA to create higher concentrations.

Our partner Ikerlan-Ik4 presented in microTAS 2007 SU-8 based microneedle for drug delivery in nanomedicine applications with integrated electrodes.

The patent pending SU-8 based microneedles report very interesting benefits such as biocompatibility and needle thickness. The poster presented is shown below:
