Laboratories and equipment to design and fabricate biomedical devices
DESCRIPTION
Design, fabrication and characterization of devices based on microtechnologies for their use in biomedical applications. Microfluidic platforms, biosensors and functional microelectrodes, as well as intermediate structures such as moulds for replication or stamping and polymeric nanofiber scaffolds. Silicon, glass, alumina or polymeric material (thermoplastics and elastomers) substrates. Noble metal electrodes with the possibility of confining active areas through passivation layers of silicon oxide, silicon nitride or structural resins.
