Our products

Product category: Other diagnostic equipment
R&D for diagnostic devices with microelectronic biochips
For your project of miniaturised diagnostic devices we are offering suitable microelectronic biochips specific for your application and support you during the whole research and development process with our more than 20 years of experience in microelectronics. We develop integrated and multimodal sensor systems as for example bioanalytical sensors based on electrical, optical and electrochemical measurement principles, optional in form of an array structure allowing the synchronized real-time detection of multiple parameters.

Product category: Other equipment for electromedicine / medical technology
R&D for electromedicine / medical technology
We work on solutions for harsh conditions and for high-precision applications. We develop energy-efficient, robust and biocompatible electronic sensor and actuator systems. Such systems are able, for example, to acquire, to process and to send data out of implants, fluids or humid environments over years. Furthermore, we develop high-precision drives for use in medical technology and for a particle-free manufacture of biotech products with a precision less than one nanometre.

Product category: Temperature measurement devices
R&D for microelectronic sensor systems, e.g. for temperature monitoring with RFID sensors
Whether for the early detection of diseases by wearable sensors or the monitoring of growth parameters of a cell culture in an incubator, we offer the development of microelectronic sensor systems for diagnostic and analytical applications. One of our key competences is the coupling of sensors via RFID for the wireless transmission of parameters like temperature. Our CMOS-based RFID sensors are powered by the reader and can therefore be operated battery-free.

We develop integrated and multimodal sensor systems as for example bioanalytical sensors based on electrical, optical and electrochemical measurement principles, optional in form of an array structure allowing the synchronized real-time detection of multiple parameters. In cooperation with our partners we detected antigen-antibody binding with high sensitivity for the diagnostics of prostate cancer.

Product category: Other molecular diagnostics testing
R&D for microelectronic diagnostic tests
For quantitative point-of-care diagnostics, we offer microelectronic research and development services for the production of sensitive and portable rapid tests based on optical and electrical measurement principles. Together with our partners we are developing currently an integrated sensorchip solution for the detection of cervical cancer. We gladly support the development of rapid tests according to your demands from scratch or with already available microelectronic sensor elements, as for example the optical detection in immunological and molecular cancer diagnostics.

One of our key competences is the coupling of sensors via RFID for the wireless transmission of parameters like temperature. Our CMOS-based RFID sensors are powered by the reader and can therefore be operated battery-free. In addition, we offer the development and efficient implementation of additional wireless communication interfaces.

Product category: Wearable technologies, smart textiles
R&D for sensor systems with various communications interfaces for wearables
For the early detection of diseases through wearable sensors or for solutions that support people with limitations, we offer the development of sensor systems with different communications interfaces. The focus here is on the energy-efficient design of sensor data readout and communications. For example, we have developed portable sensor systems that transmit data up to 30 meters away, without changing batteries for several years and which can be configured via smartphone.

Product category: eHealth, telemedicine / telematics / telemetry
R&D for embedded system solutions and communications interfaces
We offer research and development services for embedded system solutions and communications interfaces for your idea for the development of miniaturized analysis devices or point-of-care diagnostics. Our portfolio ranges from energy self-sufficient solutions through complex signal processing systems with wireless communications interfaces to integration into IT infrastructures or cloud solutions.

Product category: Other equipment and devices for information and communication technology
R&D for energy efficient, robust electronic embedded sensor and actuator systems
We work on solutions for harsh conditions and for high-precision applications. We develop energy-efficient and robust electronic sensor and actuator systems. Such systems are able, for example, to acquire, to process and to send data over years.

For this we use our know-how in the areas of interfaces, energy-efficient design, operating system support and application development. We offer you complete solutions including the development of embedded hardware/software platforms and sensor signal processing systems with high processing performance, the optimisation of open-source software and operating systems as well as integration into IT infrastructures or cloud solutions.

About Us

Company details
With application-oriented research and development in microelectronics, systems engineering and mechatronics, we strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises in particular. As a transfer partner of universities, we incorporate the results of basic research into applications. We bundle our know-how to accompany our partners in their target applications from the feasibility study to series production.

Research and development services in the life sciences field:

Design and realisation of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
Development of bioanalytical and biomedical sensors
Development of systems for physical, biological and chemical measurands
Wireless signal detection and transmission, to keep biological samples intact and germ-free
Development of systems solutions for smart metering, diagnostic and monitoring systems
Development of high-precision and highly dynamic actuators for e.g. medical applications

Under the guiding principle „We connect IT to the real world“ we are designing and creating sensor and actuator systems, control and feedback systems, and signal processing systems, then also integrating the systems and linking them to their environment.

Our institute was founded in 1995 as an associated research institute of the Ilmenau Technical University and is a non-profit company owned by the “Land” of Thüringen, Germany. At the headquarters in Ilmenau and the branch office in Erfurt, around 80 employees are currently working on funded projects, industry-related development projects and as R&D service providers.

IMMS‘ life science focus

Our life science focus is the research and development of application-specific integrated electronic circuits (ASICs) and sensor systems for quantitative rapid tests and in-vitro diagnosis and for the monitoring of therapeutic progress. The novel systems bring closer a future of point-of-care testing for, among other things, early cancer diagnosis, which is fast, reliable, cheap and largely automated.

We therefore build upon our multi-parameter microelectronics-based platforms and harnesses off-the-shelf, reasonably priced fabrication techniques and CMOS technology. One important research focus is the integration of a variety of detection principles into a single electronic sensor chip which can be used to measure biological and chemical features. We work in close conjunction with our life science partners to match the systems to their application, for instance by providing interfaces that are made of biocompatible materials or by accommodating the packaging.
