bbi-biotech is participating in the joined research project MINAMED funded by German Ministry of Research and initiated by Analytik Jena AG.

MINAMED is the abbreviation for

Microfluidic system for the integrated Nuclein acid Analytics for real time control of development of drugs (“Medikament” in German).

Scheme of MinaMed System platform

This network project aims to develop an automated analysis system on the basis of integrated chip modules for the DNA extraction and amplification in the continuous flow, combined with a sampling from the fermentation process, a DNA/RNA extraction module and a detection unit coupled with the amplification chip. One of the first application fields will be the on-line quality control during the vaccine development and production.

bbi-biotech develops specific sampling systems for low volume samples in real time.

Project period: 01.09.2007 until 31.01.2011

Total project costs: ca. 3.9 Mio Euro

Project partner:
Analytik Jena AG, Jena
HSG e.V., Villingen-Schwenningen
IPHT e.V., Jena
HNP Mikrosysteme GmbH, Parchim
