Additional Information
The Institute for Microsensors, Actuators, and Systems (IMSAS) was founded in 1992 as part of the University of Bremen and is active in the field of microsystems engineering. Under the leadership of Prof. Björn Lüssem and Prof. Michael Vellekoop, approximately 30 scientific and technical staff members conduct research and develop microsystems, sensors, and microfluidic devices for a wide range of application areas. To this end, the institute operates two cleanrooms as well as several laboratories for assembly and interconnect technology and for the characterization of microsystems. A current research focus is the realization of novel flexible biosensors based on organic semiconductors.
A major focus is placed on organic electrochemical transistors, which are characterized by high signal amplification and cost-effective manufacturing. In addition, sensors and microfluidic systems for the analysis of liquids are being researched that are based on the concept of “physical chemosensors.” In this approach, (bio)chemical concentrations or properties are determined using physical measurement principles, making the measurement systems simpler and more robust.
