Fully foil based multiplexed testing at the Point of Care with high sensitivity and low production costs enabled by Roll-to-roll imprinting
Speaker:Max Sonnleitner (CEO GENSPEED Biotech GmbH Rainbach, Austria )
Abstract:With the GENSPEED platform we have developed a microfluidics based point of care testing technology that allows to quantify multiple parameters with high sensitivity in a few minutes. Thus, GENSPEED bears the potential to replace existing lateral flow immuno assays (LFIAs) which lack sensitivity, ability to quantify and also multiplexing. However, to compete with LFIAs and eventually replace them, manufacturing costs of GENSPEED’s microfluidic test chips play an important role and Roll-to-roll (R2R) technologies with roller-based nanoimprinting methods enable manufacturing of highly cost-effective and large-scale sheets of flexible polymer film with precise structures on a micro- and nanoscale. This presentation outlines Roll-to-roll based processing as a low-cost and high volume production technology for GENSPEED Testchips, currently explored within the european research project R2R Bi

!!! CANCELLED !!! ABGESAGT !!! On radiative transfer in stellar atmospheres
Speaker:Dr. Olgica Kuzmanovska (Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics,)
Abstract:The observed spectra of stars are consisted of continuum and absorption spectral lines, They are the only source of information of the dynamical and structural properties of the stellar interiors. The spectral lines formed in the outer layers, i.e. the atmospheres, are result of complex mutual interaction of the radiation field and the state of matter. Thus, one of the central problems of the astrophysical spectroscopic diagnostics is the radiative transfer (RT) in the spectral lines. Its solution is performed by numerical calculations. Due to the important role of scattering processes that relate distant points of the atmosphere via the radiation field, the RT problem is non-local. Additionally, for the case of multi-level atoms, the problem is non-linear; the coupling of ... (full abstract here: https://indico.smi.oeaw.ac.at/event/358/)
