Quantia
The project develops a quantitative, hybrid sensor platform for the rapid diagnosis of sepsis based on innovative photonic biosensors and microfluidics.
German versionQuantitative Hybrid Sensor Platform for Rapid Sepsis Analytics
he primary objective of the QUANTIA project is to enable rapid and precise sepsis analytics by combining state-of-the-art photonics and bioanalytics. Within the framework of the initiative, the participating partners are working on the development of polymer-based microfluidic systems and novel biosensors to directly and quantitatively detect critical biomarkers.
The funded project is scheduled for a duration of 4 years (36 months base term plus a 12-month extension for doctorates). The project is co-funded under the directive "Research Projects of Universities of Applied Sciences in Cooperation with Practice Partners" (HAW-ForschungsPraxis).
The following objectives are defined for the project period:
-
Development and optimization of photonic and optical biosensors
-
Design and biochemical assay development for the integrated microfluidics
-
Manufacturing of polymer-based microfluidic systems using innovative 3D printing processes (xolography)
-
Implementation of electronic components and cyber-physical systems for platform control
-
Development and AI implementation for automated image processing and data analysis
-
Performance of validations and test runs for quantitative sepsis analytics
