SDU Sønderborg
The center NanoSYD combines top-down and bottom-up processing for complex systems with control on a nanometric scale. We will make use of our expertise in nanotechnology and sensors to contribute in the development of a nano particle fast test.
R&D Centre Kiel University of Applied Sciences GmbH
At FuE-Zentrum FH Kiel GmbH, we consider ourselves a link between science and industry. The tasks assigned to us by our clients result in concrete and economically viable solutions. This is because we link scientific know-how to the entrepreneur’s need for research and development.
Hochschule Flensburg
The department of biotechnology and food technology of the University of Applied Sciences Flensburg has experience in the toxicological classification of nanoparticles and can contribute also to the work with various food matrices. Connections to a large number of partners in the region, in Germany, Europe and the world can be added to the project, in particular to partners in the food industry. HS Flensburg contributes its expertise in the characterization and quantification of nanoparticles. The toxicological properties and their unequivocal detection are part of a work package and are based on a precursor project, in which the toxicological classification was carried out and established down to the cell level.
The biotechnology and food technology sector has modern cell culture laboratories, a broad bioanalysis and food product technology relevant to this project.
Coherent LaserSystems GmbH & Co. KG
Coherent, Inc. is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of lasers and accessories with headquarter in Santa Clara, California. Coherent Laser Systems GmbH & Co. KG is a German branch based in Lübeck. Here they manufacture diode-pumped solid-state lasers with over 100,000 lasers sold. Markets and applications are life sciences (especially low power lasers for cytometry, microscopy, sequencing), materials processing, semiconductor inspection, research. Within the project they will adjust and develop their diode lasers for the detection of nanoparticles.
University of Southern Denmark, SDU Odense
SDU Nano Optics has a number of advanced optical and non-optical microscopes, including a Raman microscope combined with an atomic force microscope.The combination of these types of microscopes allows surface-enhanced Raman processes to be profoundly analyzed (SERS, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering), which in turn is important for building a sensitive optical detection of nanoparticles in the project.
One of the Nano Optics Center’s expertise is also the production of nanoparticles with well-defined sizes in the nanometer range.
CCM electronic engineering ApS
The company CCM electronic engineering is working with state of the art testing environments. They are specialist in the construction of machines for sorting. They have expertise in image processing, electronic testing and software for structured measurements in technical tests, their processing and reporting.
CCM has experience with microfluidic and was over the years involved in many projects where it was necessary to develop the electronics behind sensors. From this experience they can contribute their know-how to the CheckNano project.
