Fraunhofer-Institut für Mikrotechnik und Mikrosysteme IMM

As Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems we are engaged in research and development in the two fields of Energy and Chemical Technology (processes, reactors, plants) and Analysis Systems and Sensors (methods, components, systems). The division Analysis Systems and Sensors is mainly dealing with analytical and diagnostic systems for personalized healthcare, patient monitoring and with environmental analysis, particularly in form of pathogen detection, water analysis and nanotoxicology. Our main target is the miniaturization and automation of complex laboratory procedures and equipment to give access to a wide range of biological data of a specimen very fast and directly on-site.
