Coordinator: apl. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Fritzsche
Lecturers:
apl. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Fritzsche, Dr. Thomas Henkel, Dr. Andrea Csaki
Schedule:
- Lectures: every Monday 08.15 - 09.45 (SR 225 IPHT, Beutenberg Campus), starting on Oct 23th.

Contents:
This course introduces miniaturized approaches to bioanalytics with a special focus on
parallel (microarrays) and nanoscale (nanosensors) methods, complemented by a review
of microfludics and its applications. It will give an overview over the basic techniques in this
field, list first applications and discuss emerging future trends.
