Sensor systems

The application areas for the development of sensor systems at Fraunhofer EMFT varies from life science and medical technology to aerospace technology. The development work focuses on sensors for special parameters, currently not available on the market, as well as on novel devices with optimized characteristics. Additionally, the service offering includes e.g. characterization and small batch production of sensors.

 

Gas Sensors

Fraunhofer EMFT scientists are working on optimized solutions for chemical gas sensors, for example for CO2. One aim is to gain a better understanding of sensor properties in order to be able to select the most suitable sensors for specific applications. In addition, the team is working on the development of novel gas sensors that go beyond the current state of the art.

 

Label-free biosensors for cell analysis

Fraunhofer EMFT uses whole-cell biosensors to analyse cell reactions in a label-free, non-invasive and time-resolved manner – for research, toxicity testing and biotechnology.

 

Cytotoxicity Testing in Biomedicine and Ecotoxicology

Fraunhofer EMFT investigates the biocompatibility of medical devices and active substances using cell-based assays. These include contact tests, extract tests and label-free methods for 2D and 3D cell models, which enable precise assessment of cytotoxicity – without the need for animal testing.
