Hall A1, Booth 524

analytica in Munich is the International Trade Fair for Laboratory Technology, Analysis and Biotechnology. Its unique exhibition profile unites all topics that pertain to modern analysis in research and industry.

At the joint Fraunhofer booth in Hall A1, booth 524, Fraunhofer IGB will present a newly developed real-time process mass spectrometer analyzing 30 substances simultaneously from the liquid and gas phase. Another focus of our exhibition is the development of methods for quality control, food and environmental analysis including water analysis.

In addition, three Fraunhofer Institutes IGB, ILT and IFF present OptisCell, a project from market-oriented preliminary research. In the OptisCell process, cells are first identified on a carrier, then transferred with a laser pulse and finally characterized on a second carrier with respect to their protein production.

With this compact mass spectrometer up to 30 components can be analyzed simultaneously in the gas phase and a liquid.

Process analysis with real-time mass spectrometer foxySPEC

Thanks to a special patented intake system, the newly developed real-time mass spectrometer is able to detect up to 30 components simultaneously from the gas phase and a liquid – directly during the production process and with a sensitivity in the lower ppm range. The sensitive measurement system is therefore suitable for the automated monitoring and control of chemical reactions and biotechnological processes in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. foxySPEC will be available in October 2018.

Our offer

  • Development of individual solutions for real-time, gas and liquid analysis
  • Connection of mass spectrometers to process contol systems
  • Automatic calibration and fully automated analysis
  • Tuning and remote maintenance via self-developed "Connectbox"

OptisCell – Process Chain for automated Cell Isolation

Within the Fraunhofer-funded project “Mavo OptisCell”, the three Fraunhofer Institutes, Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB and Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT, investigate an automatic process chain for single cell selection, to identify high-producer cell lines for the production of biologicals. The process of cell analysis is done contact- and marker-free by Raman-spectroscopy.

Tested in the antibody search, the process is expected to help the pharmaceutical industry make expensive and protracted development processes significantly more efficient in the future.
