News from PreSens and the Sensor-World

Measuring the oxygen permeation rate with the very low detection limit of 0.5 ppm (gas phase) offers new opportunities: minimizing the amount of oxygen that penetrates certain synthetic materials helps to improve the shelf life of products or films with ultra barrier properties for certain technical applications, e. g. LED displays, photovoltaic modules or organic solar cells.

Scientists and technicians working in the pharmaceutical industry will benefit from parallel monitoring of pH in up to 96 cell culture tubes. PreSens Precision Sensing presented the first prototype of the iTube96Reader at the BioProcess International Conference in Long Beach, CA, this November and attracted great interest.

2D sensing of oxygen distribution by combining digital imaging technology with optical sensor technology will be presented by PreSens Precision Sensing at SMI Imaging in Cancer Drug Development in London.

The publication of Dr. Volkmer and his colleagues from the University of Munich is one of the top cited articles in the journal "Tissue Engineering".

At the Oxygen 2011 Conference in Davos live measurements with PreSens systems were performed to illustrate a presentation for the first time.

At the MEDTECH 2011 PreSens again demonstrates its expertise in the field of medical technology. Last year´s visit already showed that there is a growing market for state-of-the-art sensor technology in the medical sector.
