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 [...]
Nano-Plotter - Special Applications: The pipetting instrument Nano-Plotter with its unique piezoelectric GeSiM pipets is primarily used for functionalization of biochips, printing of microarrays and Nanolitre pipetting for multiple parameter assays. Beside of the “core applications”, the flexibility of soft- and hardware makes the Nano-Plotter a versatile companion in fields like drug discovery, fine chemicals, [...]
Printed Electronics with GeSiM Bioprinters: GeSiM bioprinters offer qualitative advantages over the competition. Two important points: The variety of different extrusion tools allows to print a huge range of polymers, more than just biocompatible materials. The high XYZ accuracy – particularly with BS5.x instruments – allows to print at higher resolution then many other bioprinters [...]
Drug Release of Antibiotics through 2-phase 3D-printed Hydrogel Structures: Anti-inflammatory antibiotics are crucial for the treatment of open fractures and large, open wounds. Several ways to administer such medication are known, but the controlled local application at the wound area is often difficult. A team from University Hospital Dresden now published a new approach, using [...]
Bioengineering, Ordering Up Organs: Radio New Zealand (RNZ, “Our Changing World”) interviews the users of a GeSiM BioScaffold printer BS3.1 at University of Otago. It belongs to the core instruments for Dr. Jaydee Cabral, a research fellow at the Chemical Department. She uses the unit successfully since 2017, working on different projects. Beside of biomaterials [...]
3D Printing of Multi-layer Scaffolds to mimic Patient Specific Implants: Customers at University Hospital of TU Dresden conducted a research study for the future therapy of osteochondral defects. They developed a workflow, based on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dataset derived from a real clinical case. MRI provides more information on cartilage tissue and muscles, [...]
Array-based Chemical Synthesis: DNA- and protein microarrays are available for many years, nowadays widely used for modern in-vitro diagnostics. They are based on prefabricated biomolecules, tethered on solid surfaces by special surface chemistry (E.g. Amino-silane slides). When the spotted arrays are exposed to the analyte, just one specific reaction can happen on each spot with [...]
We are proud to present a new sales partner in Europe: The company Bio-Science Kft. will support the GeSiM marketing, sales and service activities for the bioprinters in Hungary. Bio-Science – a traditional Hungarian company – sells laboratory equipment to customers in the fields of life science, chemistry and pharmacy. The company is headquartered in [...]
Fluidautomation at your Fingertip: Hard- and software for automated fluid handling are available in many variations these days. If complexity, flexibility and speed are paramount in your F/E tasks, you should take a look at the new MicCell-FluidProcessor from GeSiM. Complex procedures, comprising single steps like pumping, mixing, dispensing, measurements and temperature control, are easy [...]
