Booth: A3 - #312
From analytics and quality control to biotechnology, life sciences, bioanalytics, diagnostics, and laboratory technology—Analytica 2026 is the leading trade fair for laboratory technology, analytics, and biotechnology.
From March 24 to 27, 2026, our scientists will be available to answer your questions at the Munich Exhibition Center. We will present our latest developments in the field of chemical sensor technology, including sensors developed at Fraunhofer IPMS for the detection of ions, ion conductivity, and temperature in aqueous solutions.
We will also be demonstrating applications for biotechnology and medical technology in the field of label-free detection with photonic biosensors.
Fraunhofer IPMS recently presented new chips and measurement adapters for characterizing thin films of materials used in organic electronics and gas sensors. Building on this, the publicly funded project SMut has been launched, in which Fraunhofer IPMS and its partners Credoxys and SweepMe! are pooling their expertise to develop a novel measurement system.
Precise pH measurement is a major challenge in chemical sensor technology. To date, conventional silver/silver chloride/potassium chloride electrodes have been used. Although these electrodes provide a stable reference potential, they are highly prone to errors. Changes in electrolyte concentration or a clogged or dried-out membrane can make the readings unreliable.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is expanding its analytical capabilities in the field of wafer contamination. In a dedicated laboratory, the established method of vapor phase decomposition is used in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (VPD-ICP-MS). This combination enables precise monitoring of wafer surface contamination.
