The use of rapid nucleic acid analysis for the detection of circulating nucleic acids can also provide information about a patient's condition. To ensure fast analysis, the combination of automation and rapid test platforms for nucleic acid and a wide range of applications is offered. In particular, the use of microfluidic systems enables low-cost on-demand testing with minimal sample preparation and fast, precise analysis.

Wearable Sensor for kidney disease

Individuals with chronic kidney disease and heart failure often suffer from hyperkalemia, which necessitates regular monitoring of potassium levels to prevent life-threatening complications.
A new minimally invasive solution has been developed at Fraunhofer IMM in collaboration with the French start-up Ki'tech, enabling the measurement of potassium levels in subcutaneous interstitial fluid, allowing for real-time monitoring.

POCT-device for protein detection

The specific detection of proteins is of great importance in both analytics and diagnostics and is used as a standard procedure in research. Traditionally, however, detection by enzyme-linked immunoassay requires a great deal of time and manual handling. To overcome these challenges, Fraunhofer IMM is developing a microfluidic system for the automated detection of proteins using chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). This innovative method enables fast and efficient reading of the reaction, thereby improving efficiency in protein analysis.
