Micro- And nano-systems for chemical/bio-medical analysis and diagnostics

Abstract

This paper reports selected results of the MNS-DIAG research project. The project is aimed at facilitating access of research teams coming from academia to fully equipped CMOS/MEMS R&D and manufacturing line and thus allowing for inflow of innovative microdevice concepts and development of demonstrators. To address the important grand societal challenges related to well-being and health in the ageing society, the project has been focused on application of micro- And nano-systems for chemical/bio-medical analysis and diagnostics. Out of five demonstrators elaborated within the MNS-DIAG, three are shortly described here, namely, Lab-on-a-chip for oocytes characterization, Micromechanical biosensors array and Integrated MEMS detector for dynamic humidity measurement in medical applications. © 2012 The Authors.
