Our company receives funding from the European Union via the FTI-Thüringen Technologie guideline. In this project, a test platform is being developed on which various assemblies, materials and functionalities for biobanks can be tested independently of the device. The purpose of the project is to react flexibly and quickly to changing device requirements using the platform’s testing capabilities.

Through the FTI-Thüringen Personen guideline, our company receives funding from the State of Thuringia from the European Social Fund Plus for innovative employees in the field of fluorescence microscopy (2024 INP 0122). The topics are development, testing and optimization of fluorescence microscopes in different sizes and functions as well as the identification of functional requirements for the devices.

Through the FTI-Thüringen Personen guideline, our company receives funding from the State of Thuringia from the European Social Fund Plus for innovative employees in the field of biobanking (2024 INP 0132). Innovative software solutions for cryo devices are developed. A special focus is on IT security, modularity and flexibility of future device generations.
