SACCA - System for automated cell cultivation and analysis

The multidisciplinary project aims to transfer existing solutions for cell cultivation on a laboratory scale into an automation-capable platform. In the field of electronics technology, the focus is on the integration of BioMEMS /BioMOEMS in mesoscale fluidic systems based on low-sintering ceramics (LTCC). Furthermore, concepts for composite technologies for different material systems are developed. An example is the adaptation of the material composite of LTCC and silicon(SiCer) for fluidic components. The research potential in the project is defined by the requirements for the system integration of all components (interfaces, fluidic interfaces, biocompatibility, AVT).
