HSG-IMIT Tour Technical Tour to HSG-IMIT Thursday, October 31 14:15 - 16:15 HSG-IMIT is an application and product oriented R&D provider for micro engineering and lab-on-a-chip systems. It is located in Freiburg and Villingen-Schwenningen and employs 130 scientists and engineers. In close cooperation with IMTEK, the Department of Microsystems Engineering of the University of Freiburg, HSG-IMIT offers assay automation, miniaturization and integration based on its centrifugal microfluidic platforms LabDisk and LabTube. HSG-IMIT also offers a Lab-on-a-Chip Design & Foundry Service which provides customers with all steps ranging from assay implementation such as assay specification, translation into microfluidic layout, to simulation and lab-on-a-chip prototyping up to functional testing in the S1 and S3** labs. At the HSG-IMIT tour you will learn about and see its activities in centrifugal microfluidics: A short overview about microfluidics research @ HSG-IMIT & IMTEK (Zengerle lab) A short introduction to centrifugal microfluidics headed by Dr. Felix von Stetten A visit in the HSG-IMIT prototyping lab where LabDisks are fabricated from a master to a functional prototype, including all relevant steps from reagent pre-storage to sealing and much more. In the laboratory for system integration, researchers will explain how the LabDisk is used to detect pathogens. At IMTEK you will see: The Non-contact Microdosage group of Dr. Peter Koltay who will demonstrate how single individual living cells are printed and this way handled in an automated way. The Microfluidic & Bioengineering group of Dr. Matthias Meier who will demonstrate its Microfluidic Large Scale Integration platform for characterizing biomolecular interactions and analyzing signaling pathways in cells. HSG-IMIT is headed by the MicroTAS Chair Dr. Roland Zengerle and his IMTEK colleagues Dr. Holger Reinecke and Dr. Yiannos Manoli. HSG-IMIT is certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2008 See flyer with detailed agenda. To register for the HSG-IMIT tour, please visit this link.
