FastDrop - Fast Fiber-based Droplet Analysis of Microorganisms

Microorganisms harbour great potential to generate substances that can be used against pathogens. The project FastDrop aims at exploiting this potential with the help of novel fiber-based microfluidic technologies. Under standard laboratory culture conditions for microorganisms, many parameters need to be considered. Recent developments in optical fiber technology in combination with advances in microfabrication and system integration allow completely new experimental possibilities. The culture and sample throughput that can be analysed is increased several fold while at the same time the required time and costs are reduced. Thus, the hunt for novel active compound is made more rapid and efficient.
