Exploring Cutting-Edge Biological Signalling Research in Freiburg

The Lord Mayor of Freiburg, Martin Horn, recently embarked on a visit to the renowned Signalhaus Freiburg, a symbol of research excellence housing the Clusters of Excellence BIOSS (Biological Signalling Studies) and CIBSS (Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies). Accompanied by Ms....

2 new DFG research units at the University of Freiburg

The research units are aiming to reveal the potential of enzymatic catalysis and investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie bladder cancer.

Aliquoting is an essential liquid handling step to perform multiple parallel assays (“geometric multiplexing”) from one sample, such as genotyping by real-time PCR. Our microfluidic solution for this task includes precise metering and the possibility to pre-store reagents without influencing the metering precision. It excludes any cross-contamination between the receiving cavities. We characterized the performance for micro-milling, thermoforming of foils, and injection molding.
