Datasheet of BioChip-C and BioChip-G in downloadsection

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.

Talk regarding Iridium-oxide based pH Sensors.

At September 28th Dr. H. Grothe will give a presentation entiteled “An Iridium-oxide pH sensor for cell based assays” at the 45. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Biomedizinische Technik (DGBMT). The Sensor was developed by cellasys GmbH in Cooperation with the Heinz Nixdorf – Lehrstuhl für Medizinische Elektronik of Technischen Universität München and the Institute of Materials in Electrical Engineering 1 of RWTH Aachen University.

Meet us as the Africon 2011 to discuss the topic “Detection of oil in biotope water with a whole-cell biosensor system”.

Monitoring and maintaining the quality of water is important since it is one of the most important resources and the basis of all life. However, current methods are stationary or obsolete. The IMOLA system is able to measure the vitality of living cells online, marker free and in real time through a multiparametric microsensor chip. In combination with green algae as signal transducers it was elucidated how an emulsion of oil in water affects the vitality of the algae. It was shown that the system using the green algae Parachlorella kessleri as biosensor unit is suitable for mobile, online-detection of changes in water quality.

The latest advances are presented in a talk at the Africon 2011.
