YouTube: 3D glass processing for microfluidic systems

On our YouTube channel we offer insights into our research. This time on the topic: 3D glass processing for microfluidic systems; presented by Maren Prediger.

Lasers, glass and cells. In this insight into the research, the Institute of Microproduction Technology presents how the scientists use a 3D printer to produce microfluidic systems made of glass and other materials. These can be used, for example, to specifically retain cells from a cell suspension. Initial functionality tests, in collaboration with the Lower Saxony Center for Biomedical Engineering, Implant Research and Development (NIFE), demonstrate the usefulness of the system.
This work was carried out as part of Samuel Wulfert's Master's thesis. We would like to thank Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Andrea Hoffmann, Yvonne Roger, Ph.D. and Kirsten Elger of the working group "Biological Basis for Biohybrid Implants" for their cooperation.
