Know-how

Thanks to a multidisciplinary team, we boast a broad and solid know-how in micro and nanofabrication processes, in the design and implementation of microfluidic systems, and in the development of biosensor platforms for the public and private sector, both at national and international scope.

Micro and
nanofabrication

Expertise in the use of Pulsed-NIL, an evolution of Nanoimprint Lithography. Pulsed-NIL is a fast, simple, versatile, and accurate manufacturing technology.

Electrochemistry
(biosensors)

Expertise in the development of sensor platforms with EIS (Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy) and electrochemical transduction scheme coupled with high-performance micro and nanoelectrode arrays (MEA and NEA) to detect therapeutic molecules.

Microfluidics
-

Expertise in the development of manageable microfluidic circuits (witching, mixing, dispensing), with high-precision control of fluids, and labs-on-chips, devices that integrate multiple laboratory functions in a single chip for diagnostic and agri-food applications.

Tissue engineering
ongoing

We are strengthening our expertise in the development of biocompatible micro and nanostructured surfaces aimed at studying biological processes such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and interactions.
