Bio-intelligent micromanufacturing paves the way for new biosensors – application areas include health, food and environmental monitoring
Microelectromechanical sensors are essential components in all walks of life. However, bringing biospecific elements into miniaturized sensors has been a challenge, obstructing the development of bioanalytical applications. A new European project aims to change this by developing key enabling technologies for producing silicon-based multiplexed biosensors rapidly and cost-effectively. This could transform semiconductor-based biosensor industries in Europe.

Surely you have, or know someone that has, a smartphone that can tell you how many hours you’ve slept or how many steps you’ve taken during the day. But did you know that this information is given by very small sensors, probably produced outside Europe?
