Transforming Tendon Reconstruction: The GeSiM BioScaffolder's Role in Hybrid Scaffold Innovation Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones and enable joint movement. However, tendon injuries are common and often difficult to heal, requiring surgical intervention with autologous materials and long-term rehabilitation. The use of regenerative grafts, which mimic mechanical properties while supporting the [...]

Revolutionizing Food Safety: Lab-in-a-Package: In a world where food safety is essential, a paper published by researchers at the McMaster University (CA), GeSiM’s customer, introduces a game-changing solution: Lab-in-a-Package. This innovative approach aims to transform the way we detect and prevent foodborne illnesses, offering a hands-free, real-time method within the confines of a closed food [...]

LifeCare's Cutting-Edge Approach: GeSiM Machines Enable Series Production of Chip-based Glucose Sensor: LifeCare, a forward-thinking medical sensor company, recently published a groundbreaking move towards automated production through a strategic purchase order from GeSiM mbH. This significant step not only demonstrates LifeCare's commitment to advancing medical sensor technology but also showcases the incredible flexibility and customization [...]

A GeSiM Bioprinter beyond Gravity: A team from Dresden University Hospital has now tested a GeSiM bioprinter in a non-gravitational environment. The device was taken on board of an AIR ZERO G aircraft and put into operation there. During several parabolic flights, it was possible to demonstrate that the device functions perfectly in a micro-G [...]

Multi-Material Printing: An Approach to Chemofluidic Valves for Microfluidic Applications: GeSiM 3D bioprinters are not limited to developing artificial tissues by printing of bioinks. Customers were already producing multilayer structures for printed electronics. The ability to combine a wide variety of extrusion methods allows for much more: A team from Technical University Dresden and the [...]

Bioinstruments and Microfluidics at the BioCHIP Berlin Conference, 13. /14.06.2023: There are many options to make elements like wells and channels on microfluidic components and biochips, including biochemical activation: Lithography based etching techniques, 3D printing, direct writing with piezoelectric Nanolitre dispensers, Nanoimprint lithography (NIL), microcontact printing and more. GeSiM offers tools and know-how for almost [...]

GeSiM bioinstruments at SLAS2023, San Diego (USA), 25th Feb to 1st March: SLAS2023 International Conference and Exhibition is around the corner. It will attract scientists from all over the world, comprising a large commercial exhibition and a scientific conference. SLAS2023 will be focused on laboratory automation and more. It is an occasion to meet GeSiM, [...]

MEW of Liquid Crystal Elastomer Scaffolds with Programmed Mechanical Response: MEW - Melt Electro Writing - means the deposition of thin fibres by electrostatic forces, following exactly pre-programmed patterns. With GeSiM BioScaffold printers, the MEW printhead deposits Gcode based geometries in the same way a pneumatic extruder does. Customers of the Spanish National Council of [...]

Liquid Handling & Bioprinting at MEDICA 2022: MEDICA will open its doors again from November 14th to 17th. For the first time since 2019, GeSiM will also present new products (GeSiM: Hall 1, E24). Micro Pipetting: Real-time spot detection is now available for our proven workhorse Nano-Plotter for all applications related to diagnostics and microarrays. [...]

Real-Time Monitoring of individual Spots on the Nano-Plotter: Piezoelectric drop-on-demand GeSiM pipets deposit hundreds of identical spots onto arbitrary targets with a single aspiration. However, physical limits apply to the range of liquids, and the reliability of the process deteriorates when approaching these limits. Each Nano-Plotter comes with a stroboscopic test of function of each [...]
