Project content
The aim of the joint project is to create an automation system for the processing of cell-free body fluids from the sample to the result. Further objectives of the joint project are the improvement and adaptation of nucleic acid purification methods, real-time PCR methods, immunoprecipitation methods and immunological detection methods for integration into the new automation system.
Goals imk Health
- Desktop device for analysing patient samples
- Device for use in smaller laboratories
- "From sample to result" - Automated sample preparation, analysis and evaluation
- Functional model (demonstrator) to be created by 2026, followed by further development and certification
