The use of Digital Light Processing (DLP)-based technologies has driven innovation in industries such as additive manufacturing, metrology, lithography and, increasingly, biomedical research and bioprinting. In addition to image quality parameters (magnification, line contrast, distortion), two key characteristics govern the manufacturing success: intensity on the image plane, and Full On/Full Off (FO:FO) contrast. Both need to be balanced carefully in the illumination design. We discuss detailed considerations for developing an UV DLP projector. Specifically, by choosing TIR prism design rationale, fine tuning the exact geometry, tailoring the other illumination optics and an improved coating design, we achieve an illumination that is both high-contrast and high-intensity. #bioengineering #optics #lithography #metrology #optogenetics #uv #dlp #highpower #projector #biofabrication #bioprinting #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting

Combining thermoresponsive polymers and temperature controlled microfluidics enabled Dr. Dirk Rommel and Bernhard Häßel to produce a variety of microgels with different structures, mechanical properties and surface topographies at DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials and RWTH Aachen University. Phase separation of the polymer solution inside the droplets was fixed by crosslinking and resulted in building blocks that will be further used to mechanically actuate cells in our in vitro gym.

Excited to share our latest work published in Lab on a Chip, a Royal Society of Chemistry journal! A well-deserved shout-out to Md Moniruzzaman, Ph.D. for his excellent work as the first author and congratulations to the team. I was happy to contribute by designing and developing a novel 3D printed tissue trapper that was significant to the success of this study. This work introduces a cutting-edge microfluidic device that enables high-temporal resolution sampling of adipose tissue secretions. The approach reveals unique mechanisms behind glycerol and fatty acid release, offering new insights into how our body's metabolic processes function. When this research enhances our understanding of fat tissue behavior, it also opens doors for future bioanalytical innovations. 🔬 If you're curious about how advanced microfluidics is shaping the future of biological studies, give it a read! https://lnkd.in/gaGyscxD [Full-text access requires journal subscription.] #Research #Microfluidics #Bioanalytical #AdiposeTissue #LabOnAChip #MetabolicScience #Innovation #3DPrinting

#UDtechtransfer presents a revolutionary hydrogel with unique light-responsive conductivity, a polymer that shifts from a transparent, non-conducting solution to a dark blue, photo-catalyzed conducting gel. The creation of the hydrogel could be utilized in minimally invasive bioelectronic implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, and other bioelectronic devices. This transformative technology, developed by Laure Kayser, an Assistant Professor of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Delaware, unlocks a new era of innovation and is #availableforlicensing.

We are excited to share a groundbreaking paper from D. Silbernagl, P. Szymoniak, Z. Tavasolyzadeh, H. Sturm, and I. Topolniak of BAM - Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung! They've leveraged our Laser Nanofactory system to push the boundaries of Multiphoton Polymerization (MPP) in evaluating interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) to form precise 3D structures.   Their research showcases MPP's potential in biomedical fields, achieving microstructures with tailored thermal and micromechanical properties. The IPNs, combining acrylate and epoxy systems, demonstrate high elasticity and stability, making them ideal for morphable microsystems, soft micro-robotics, and cell engineering. #multiphotonpolymerization #nanofabrication #2PP
