The CiS Research Institute has expanded its opto-electronic competencies to develop multispectral UV light sources for fluorescence and absorbance measurements. Manufacturers of measuring instruments for bioanalytics and medical technology can thus build significantly smaller systems and open up new fields of application. In addition, users of this technology also benefit from low system costs
Our workshop is aimed at companies from the sensor and medical technology sectors that are facing new challenges in the healthcare market.
Microsystem technologies and the integration of microelectronic components are among the drivers for innovative solutions in prevention, diagnosis and therapy
At the CiS Research Institute, photoplethysmographic sensors have been developed that enable detailed shape analysis of pulse waves measured in the ear with a high signal-to-noise ratio
For precision force measurements, the CiS Research Institute has developed miniaturised silicon strain gauges (Si-DMS) with an integrated measuring bridge. The piezoresistive resistors are monolithically integrated in single-crystal silicon (K-factor = 80) and are available as a double strain element and as a full bridge
Today more than ever, the market demands reliable, highly stable and durable materials at acceptable costs. The manufacturing process of artificial diamonds is environmentally friendly and the raw materials are almost unlimited. The technology is ready and now it is up to politics. The CiS Research Institute in Erfurt has taken the initiative and founded the “Smart Diamonds” cooperation platform together with the BMBF
A multi-channel measuring head for investigations on sample volumes in the nanolitre range is currently being developed at the CiS Research Institute together with international partners within the framework of the European research project “SMARTER-SI” (GA-Nr. 644596). The principle is based on fluorescence and absorption measurement on an array of different enzyme pixels
The SMARTER-SI project offers a novel manufacturing platform across Europe on which innovative and intelligent sensor components and microsystems can be produced cost-effectively in small and medium quantities. Around 5.3 million euros in funding will flow into the development and testing of this platform until 2018
CiS Research Institute introduces miniaturized silicon integrated multispectral photoplethysmography sensors. These are placed in the external auditory canal and are individually adapted to the patient

The CiS Research Institute starts developments on a miniaturized optical sensor for investigations of blood flow velocity in the skin. The sensor principle is based on the laser Doppler method. Here, elastic scattering at the moving blood components causes a shift of the light wavelength, which becomes measurable by coherent superposition with the excitation light
