Microfluidics Innovation Hub

Gemeinsam mit Infineon Technologies laden wir die Cluster Community ein zum❗𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆 ❗am 16. Oktober ab 15.30 Uhr. Infineon entwickelt an seinem F&E-Standort in #Graz u.a wegweisende Sensor- und Datenübertragungslösungen und hat somit schon jetzt zahlreiche Berührungspunkte mit unserer #LifeScience Community. Der Infineon HealthTech Day bietet nun erstmals den perfekten Rahmen, bereits bestehende Kooperationen und Gesundheitsanwendungen kennenzulernen und – wer weiß? - gleich neue anzubahnen. Auf dem Programm stehen Pitches der Infineon Anwendungen, Kurz-Präsentationen von bereits bestehenden Kooperations-Projekten, klinische Insights unserer Partner von der Med Uni Graz – sowie reichlich Zeit zum Netzwerken. Weitere Infos, Agenda und Anmeldung gibt es hier: https://lnkd.in/d4CH-EPa Wir als steirischer #LifeScience Cluster - und insbesondere Lorenz Neuhäuser-Happe - freuen uns sehr, dass das Interesse an diesem „Demo Day“ so groß ist. Bereits jetzt haben sich über 50 Cluster Members angemeldet, darunter: arterioscope | AT&S | acib GmbH | AUTFORCE Automations GmbH | BNN - BioNanoNet | CBmed GmbH | CNSystems Medizintechnik GmbH | elyte diagnostics GmbH | EXIAS Medical | FH JOANNEUM - Institute eHealth | | JOANNEUM RESEARCH | Medizinische Universität Graz | Know Center | Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen | Lumetry Diagnostics GmbH | MEINRAD.cc Communication Consulting GmbH (now part of TOPPAN Digital Language) | Microfluidics Innovation Hub | NUTEK AT | Ottronic | PAYER Group | Silicon Austria Labs | MEDS Spath Micro Electronic Design GmbH | Technische Universität Graz | Universität Graz Herzlichen Dank an Infineon, insbesondere an Andreas Muehlberger, für die Möglichkeit, dieses tolle Event zu veranstalten! #hts #erfolgreichclustern #medtech #infineon #healthtech #

We are thrilled to announce that GENSPEED has successfully launched a 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐃 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭-𝐨𝐟-𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭, proudly among the first to meet the stringent requirements of the new 𝐄𝐔 𝐈𝐕𝐃𝐑 (𝐄𝐔 2017/746) 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬! This achievement gives us a significant kick-start in the market, as the new IVDR standards raise the bar for In-Vitro Diagnostic devices. Meeting these rigorous criteria underscores our unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and regulatory excellence, and positions us at the forefront of diagnostic solutions in the EU. We are excited to launch the test in 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 and plan to roll it out across Europe soon. For more information, visit www.genspeed-biotech.com. A huge thank you to our fantastic team for their dedication in making this possible! 🚀 Here's to pushing the boundaries of diagnostics as we continue to innovate and grow!

💧🔬 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐅𝐃 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 In the world of microfluidics, precise control over fluid flow is essential - particularly in fields like medical diagnostics. The video below showcases one of our projects, where we used advanced CFD simulations to explore the impact of dynamically changing contact angles within a microfluidic device. The purple circle represents the sensor field, while the liquid is colored as red and the air as blue. 🔍 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫: Implementing dynamically changing contact angle behavior is crucial for achieving precise and meaningful simulation results and effective problem solving. The differing simulation videos below illustrate this effect, which was only considered in the "Receding Contact Angle" simulation. By incorporating this factor, we detected problem zones during the emptying process and optimized them through geometric changes and surface treatments. ⭐ 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: These insights are particularly crucial for devices that rely on accurate fluid measurement and interaction, such as those used in blood analysis. Controlling dynamic contact angles by adapting geometries and surface roughness or useing tailored coatings enables reliable and precise sensor performance. Connect with us to elevate your microfluidic device performance. Our expertise in CFD, together with the capabilities of our partners from the Microfluidics Innovation Hub, ensure your devices perform flawlessly, delivering the accuracy and reliability. #Microfluidics #CFD #MedicalDevices #FluidDynamics #Innovation #Engineering
