Project Description

The main focus of the INTCESEN is the development and fabrication design of innovative ceramic microfluidic devices with integrated sensing features with applications on bio-medical, environment and security. The LTCC technology versatility will allow the 3D integration of electrochemical sensing areas with microfluidic features, and further advanced signal processing and wireless communication. The result will be one system to provide all of the possible required analyses for a given type problem, with all processing steps performed on the same chip, with no user interaction required except for initialization. The progress beyond the state-of-the-art represents, one side, the integration of sensing features within LTCC technology by use of innovative materials, for the purpose of integrating electrochemical sensing features, and, on the other side, the use of this reproducible technology for generating reliable microfluidic lab-on-chip systems with intersectorial applications.

The project is funded byUEFISCDI.
