Project objective

The project at hand aims at the development of new improved magnetic nano particles for diagnostics. These magnetic nano particles will then be incorporated in layer-by-layer capsules, which allow for a better detection of tiny amounts of analyte material in blood, urine and other body fluids. This innovative technology will significantly improve the reliability of the analysis of small amounts of bioorganic material and thereby facilitate medical diagnosis. If nowadays samples have to be sent to diagnostic laboratories for analysis, with the new technology every practitioner will be able to conduct diagnostic tests himself. Surflay, the Berlin-based host company for this project, is specialised in layer-by-layer technology and its application in diagnostics. However the necessary knowledge about the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles is missing. Therefore, Surflay plans to host Dr. Huang from Sichuan University, China for two years. Dr. Huang has achieved unique results on the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles. This project is meant to be the foundation of a long-term cooperation between Sichuan University and Surflay as well as other European network partner of Surflay.
