Short summary A German SME is working in the field of microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip systems for point-of-need applications like in-vitro diagnostics (veterinary and human) and food analyses. The company wishes to extend its product and application portfolio and looks for partners who wish to integrate their biosensor(s) into a self-contained microfluidic environment, in the frame of technical collaboration agreements or research cooperation agreements with mutual marketing possibilities.

Full description The German SME has developed microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip systems for point-of-need applications and is now trying to extend its product and application portfolio by searching for partners whose biosensor(s) should be transferred into a Lab-on-a-Chip environment. Various biosensing solutions have been developed by research institutes and companies throughout the last decades. Most of them require a certain sequence of liquid delivery, e.g. for referencing and labelling. Usually this is done by external pumps and tubing attached to a flow cell mounted on the sensor.For (portable) point-of-need applications, however, it may be desirable to integrate such biosensors in a self-contained microfluidic cartridge. The company therefore provides standard evaluation platforms to quickly start integrating biosensors and associatedassays into a miniaturized, self-contained cartridge format. The cartridge technology hereby allows for liquid movement inside such a cartridge to perform the assay and “feed” the biosensor, thus not requiring any external pumping or pipetting steps. Besides such integrated pumping, the cartridges may also include the ability for integrated heating (e.g. for hybridization, lysis or amplification). Besides the pure microfluidic cartridges, required electronics and software solutions to run the cartridges, as well as accessories such as micro-structured adhesive tapes for bonding the sensor to the microfluidics part are available. The company is looking for partners who have developed a biosensor solution and who wish to integrate and test their sensor in a self-contained miniaturized microfluidic environment. The partners should be interested in, depending on the necessary cooperation, either technical collaboration agreements or R&D collaboration agreements. Optional the company can market the biosensor as it is and/or integrated in the microfluidic environment or vice versa the partner can market its sensor together with the customised cartridge.

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought The partner should have expertise in biosensing and assay development and provide a biosensor solution he wants to transfer to a miniaturized system. The application scenarios of interest include not only human and veterinary diagnostics, but also food safety, environmental analyses, and pure RnD settings.
