Fraunhofer IMM

Presented in the #Fraunhofer Research News: The Fraunhofer IMM TrapJet principle. The goal is to use existing developments and methods for printing cells. To this end, colleagues from the Division Diagnostics @Fraunhofer IMM realized special microfluidic structures on silicon-based wafers in the institute's clean room: These structures are designed to “trap” cells. Our experts introduce human cells into ultra-fine channels on microfluidic chips, and the cells are captured by special structures there as they flow. 👇👇👇

Our colleague and all the other experts from our Division Diagnostics @Fraunhofer IMM can of course also be reached at the #Fraunhofer joint booth in Hall 3, Booth E74, and topics such as:   👉 automated rapid test systems, 👉 microfluidics-based diagnostics 👉 Point-of-care testing 👉 automation of diagnostics 👉 Lab-on-chip systems 👉 personalized diagnostics 👉 single cell dispensing 👉 3D-bioprinting   can be discussed with them. How can you be reached before the #Medica2024? For example, via https://lnkd.in/e2PsVc7q

In der chemischen Industrie sind Feinchemikalien überall da gefragt, wo es weniger um große Mengen als um präzise Wirkung und hohe Reinheitsgrade geht, beispielsweise bei der Produktion von Arzneimitteln. Die Herstellung von Feinchemikalien ist komplex und erfordert in der Regel mehrere, aufeinander folgende Reaktionsschritte. Die Syntheseverfahren sind seit vielen Jahren etabliert, aber auch technisch weitgehend ausgereizt. Fraunhofer-Forschende haben nun einen innovativen Syntheseprozess zur Herstellung von Feinchemikalien entwickelt. Während herkömmliche Verfahren mit einer Abfolge diverser Reaktoren und Rührkesseln arbeiten, entsteht das Endprodukt bei dem neuen Verfahren in einer kontinuierlich ablaufenden Synthesekaskade, im besten Fall innerhalb eines Reaktors. Die Vorteile: geringere CO2-Emissionen und geringere Kosten. Die Forschenden vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Molekularbiologie und Angewandte Oekologie IME, Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, Fraunhofer-Institut für Grenzflächen- und Bioverfahrenstechnik IGB und Fraunhofer IMM setzen bei ihrem Verfahren auf eine neuartige Kombination zweier Katalysemethoden.

Today, a few impressions of our stand at the Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe 2024 – even before the visitors came. Among other things, we are presenting the EU project GAMMA.EU in Hamburg. An innovative fuel system is being installed as part of the EU project. #Ammonia and green #methanol will be bunkered on-to the ship and then converted into hydrogen with cracker and reformer technologies. The hydrogen will be purified and then converted into electricity with a fuel cell, which will be providing electric energy to the vessel and thus replacing the use of the auxiliary generators running on fossil fuel.   More information about the GAMMA project 👉 https://www.green-gamma.eu   #HTE2024 | #Fraunhofer | #hydrogen | #hydrogentechnology | #decarbonization

Starting today: 2 days all about hydrogen technology developments at the Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe in Hamburg, Germany. The Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe is a solutions-oriented forum to discuss the development of new technologies to bring hydrogen into the mainstream for stationary and mobile applications. At the Hydrogen Technology Expo 2024 Fraunhofer IMM presents three developments: its ➡ methanol-reformer, ➡ ammonia-cracking and ➡ methanation technology.   For more than a decade, we have developed a family of reformers for decentralized hydrogen supply with focus on fuel-cell based applications. Our 75-kW methanol reformer is a prime example of compactness and efficiency. Thanks to a proprietary catalyst formulation, our system performs under high standards of stability and reliability. Being an ideal carrier for the storage and long-distance transport of green hydrogen, Fraunhofer IMM conceived a cracking process for the reconversion of ammonia into hydrogen. This is done by using our well-established microstructure-reactor and tailor-made catalyst technology. Fraunhofer IMM's ammonia process exhibits high efficiency due to its autothermal character. Another novel application of our microstructure-reactor technology and catalyst synthesis is a process for carbon-dioxide methanation. Our technology incorporates a highly efficient heat-management system, leading to high CO2 conversion. It finds special application in biomethane production at biogas plants.
