The PhotonMed project started on 24/09/2024 with a meeting hosted by the VTT coordinator in Oulu.
PhotonMed is a Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) aims to bolster Europe’s semiconductor industry by fostering collaboration between the EU, member states, and private sector entitled:
Revolutionary medical diagnostics, surgical tools, and therapeutic applications based on photonics can enhance consumers‘ lives within a few years. This could result from the PhotonMed project with a budget of 32 million euros and 39 partners in 9 countries. Coordinated by VTT from Finland, PhotonMed accelerates the uptake of research innovations by ensuring they are directly implementable in manufacturing.

Different types of microfluidic chips designed for electroporation, which is a technique used to introduce DNA, RNA, or other molecules into cells using electric pulses. Microfluidic chips with inlets and outlets can provide controlled and efficient electroporation processes. Here are a few different flow electroporation chip designs with inlet and outlet ports:

Mit der Quantentechnologie werden sich vielfältige neue Anwendungspotentiale erschließen lassen.
Zum Beispiel können mit Quantensensoren verschiedenste Arten physikalischer Parameter mit bislang unerreichbarer Genauigkeit bestimmt werden.
microTEC lädt sie dazu ein, Ihre Ideen zur Industrialisierung der Quantentechnologien mit uns zu diskutieren und Miniaturisierungslösungen zur Systemintegration basierend auf unseren RMPD/3D-CSP-Verfahren zu entwickeln.
Als Partner mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Bereich geförderter BMBF- und EU-Projekten sehen wir einer Teilnahme an Quantentechnologie-Projekten mit Spannung entgegen.
Im Rahmen des 12. Workshops „Kleine Volumenströme in der Medizintechnik“ am 13. Juni 2019 auf dem BioMedTec Wissenschaftscampus Lübeck, wird unser Geschäftsführer Dr. Reiner Götzen einen Vortrag mit dem Titel: „3D Drucken trifft auf Biowissenschaften – von kapillaren Mikrofluidiken zu EHD Pumpen“ halten.

February 2018
The meeting takes place from February 1-2, 2018 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California USA. The American Society for Precision Engineering’s Micro-Nano Technical Leadership Committee (ASPE MNTLC) is hosting the winter technical conference to review the current state-of-the-art in the application of precision engineering principals of deterministic engineering to micro and nanotechnologies.
The RAIS workshop was held at the Casa Convalescència UAB Campus (map), Barcelona, Spain on 6th – 7thNovember 2017.
The aims of the Workshop were to:
- Demonstrate and showcase the technologies developed in the RAIS project for photonic measurement of sepsis biomarkers
- Interact with the user community and gather expert opinion in order to fine-tune the alignment of project aims and market needs
- Interest potential partners (companies, research institutes) in the possibility of collaboration for commercial exploitation of the RAIS system

microTEC is partner of the BRAAVOO Project which aims to develop innovative solutions for real-time in-situ measurement of high impact and difficult to measure marine pollutants. The concept of BRAAVOO is based on a unique combination of three types of biosensors, which will enable the detection of both a number of specific marine priority pollutants and also general biological effects that can be used for early warning.

microTEC is participating in two new health oriented EC research projects.
Self-amplified photonic biosensing platform for microRNA-based early diagnosis of diseases (SAPHELY)
The SAPHELY project aims at developing a compact and low-cost point-of-care (POC) device based on nanophotonic technology for its application to minimally-invasive early diagnosis, with initial focus in cancer. This POC device will significantly help to reduce the actual costs designated for early diagnosis and to implement mass screenng programs, meaning a significant contribution to the improvement of the citizens’ health status and to the sustainability of healthcare systems.
Microarrays are a powerful set of technologies which are widely used for the detection of pathogenic micro-organisms, proteins and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing, among others. Most commercial equipment rely on large readers (also called scanners) and labelled detection, whereas most of the advanced research-level portable and label-free designs suffer from one of more drawbacks, including insufficient sensitivity and specificity, high cost and sophisticated implementation and reduced scalability (number of spots). The overall objective of this project is to develop a new point-of-care label-free microarray platform based on a proprietary interferometric lens-less microscopy design and validate it for quantifying levels of specific Sepsis’ biomarkers within 30 minutes.
