Cell-based biosensors can simulate the effect of various substances, such as drugs, on the human body in the laboratory. Depending on the measuring principle, though, producing them can be expensive. As a result, they are often not used. Cost factors for sensors that perform measurements electrically are the expensive electrode material and complex production. Fraunhofer scientists are now producing biosensors with graphene electrodes cheaply and simply in roll-to-roll printing. A system prototype for mass production already exists.
Fascinating new developments from the world of printed electronics, the technology’s possibilities in the healthcare sector, or experiencing the production process of NFC-powered LEDs: this is just a small excerpt from the diverse supporting programme of LOPEC 2018. It is an integral part of the exhibition and complements the proven combination of exhibition and conference: with Panel Discussion, Demo Line, Award Show and much more.
E Ink Holdings (Billerica, Massachusetts and Hsinchu, Taiwan), a leading innovator of electronic ink technology, announced it has been named a 2018 FLEXI Awards winner for Product Innovation by the FlexTech Alliance for DAZZLE, the world’s largest media façade enabled by flexible E Ink electrophoretic displays.
