EMBC 2012 Minisymposium “Monitoring of Living Cells” in Room Sapphire 410 on Friday 31th August 2012 from 16:30 h until 17:30 h:

I) Martin Brischwein (TU Munich, Germany): Label-Free, Sensor-Based Cell Assays: State of the Art

Cell based assays provide information to the chemical, pharmaceutical, food industries and to physicians for diagnostic and therapeutical decisions. While such assays are typically bound to the use of (optical) markers, label-free assays working with microsensor techniques have emerged.

II) Joachim Wiest (cellasys GmbH, Germany): Electrochemical Technology and Methods for Data Processing for Label Free Monitoring of Living Cells

The presented work describes various microsensor technologies which are suitable for online, marker-free, multi-parametric monitoring of living cells. Furthermore different aspects of data processing, interpretation and correlation are discussed.

III) Johannes Clauss (TU Munich, Germany): Label Free Cellular Monitoring: From in Vitro to in Vivo

Label-free monitoring technologies for biological and chemical analysis are fast growing. For in vivo analysis these label-free techniques are even more crucial than for in vitro measurement. A wireless implant system including an amperometric oxygen sensor for the human body was developed, which can be implanted next to a tumor. The sensor system is capable of continuously monitoring tissue in vivo under real-time conditions over a long period of time.

IV) Martin Koch (Feldkraft Ltd., Denmark): Manipulation of Living Cells by Employing Dynamic Fields

Living cells can be swayed by dynamic fields via magnetic nanoparticles. A hereto related procedure is the well known therapy called hyperthermia. In these treatments electromagnetic fields in our case however magnetic fields are applied.

cellasys GmbH, a spin-out of Technische Universität München published detailed description of their micro-sensor-chips for investigation of living cells. For the first time, now the pin configuration is available to the public. Before the upcoming analytica in April 2012 the high-tech company posted the datasheet on www.cellasys.com to allow customers to use the BioChips independent of the proprietary IMOLA-IVD technology. Dr. Joachim Wiest, CEO of cellasys states: „With opening the interface description we welcome new partners to integrate our BioChips into their own devices.“ Joint developments with a partner for live cell imaging are already ongoing.
