Projects

Laboratory Skin Patches and SmartCards based on foils and compatible with a smartphone (LABONFOIL)
The goal is to develop cheap lab-on-a-chip devices without compromising the response time, sensitivity or ease-of-use. The user will obtain the results using a smartphone. The project will be validated using various applications: environment, agrifood sector and health.

7FP European Project
Subject: miniaturised detection systems. Biosensor.
Leader: Genewave SAS (FR).

Mass Produced Optical Diagnostic Labcards Based on Micro and Nano SU8 Layers (OPTOLABCARD)
This project has resulted in the development of a fast, highly sensitive and cheap diagnostic device (lab-on-a-card type) which brings together technological advances in optoelectronics, microfluidics and biology and is able to detect the presence of pathogenic microorganisms (Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp.) in biological samples (clinical samples and chickens, respectively) in situ within 25 minutes.
