Biomarkers – platelets as biomarkers for cardiovascular disease Innovation The development involves an affordable and reliable measurement method, which can be applied in point-of-care instruments, focusing specifically on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, thrombosis and strokes). This is technically very complicated, because very small amounts of the substance to be detected in a …
Full automatic platelet rich plasma extraction 2M created a first functional prototype of a full automatic PRP separation centrifuge called ANGELINA. This device does full automatic concentration and extraction of thrombocyte or platelets from whole blood for a range of potential medical applications. By using patented sensor technology and a completely new blood separation mechanism …
Need for better oral cancer imaging techniques Societal problem Despite the general accessibility of the oral cavity, multiple screening and detection techniques during physical examination, many malignancies are not diagnosed until late stages of disease. Occurrence of oral cancer in 2012 resulted in 372,000 new cases and over 150,000 deaths. 5 year mortality is approx. …
photonic sensor technology for better bladder cancer treatment Today, bladder cancer is one of the most expensive diseases to treat in the western world. The MIB project is a European research project where engineers and medical doctors develop new instruments for detecting bladder cancer. Multimodal, Endoscopic Biophotonic Imaging of Bladder Cancer for PoC Diagnosis The …
PC100 – Platelet Counter The PC100 Platelet Counter is a highly portable point-of-care device that accurately counts cells (platelets / thrombocytes) in minutes. The automatic cell counter for thrombocytes or platelets is able to accurately count platelet concentrations in whole blood as well as in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). The platelet counter is a device …
The medical device control module with integrated display can form the central control unit of new medical devices. The medical device control module contains a number of common functions that can be found in most medical devices.

DESIPAM The Desipam project investigates effective disinfection of medical devices with LEDs. High-power blue LEDs can be used to effectively clean spaces and objects, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA, EHEC, ESBL). In the Desipam project we investigate how effective the technique can be used to clean the various medical devices placed in a health kiosk. Effective …
Accurately measures human body height 2M is creating a clinical grade non-invasive contactless body length / height sensor intended to measure the body length of humans and to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) of users. Class 1m medical product The sensing technology is based on ultrasonic wave technology. The solution also calculates Body Mass …
Simple & fast sample preparation for LTA platelet function testing In the Thrombospin project we created a first prototype of a full automatic LTA sample preparation device that replaces all the time consuming manual work. LTA (Light Transmission Aggregometry) is the (golden) standard blood test to diagnose platelet function. Today the manual sample preparation steps take …
