Printed semiconductor technology turns “chip in a lab” into “lab on a chip”

DI Franz Padinger, CTO for NANOIDENT Technologies AG, will speak about "Semiconductor 2.0: Products and Perspectives" at the Organic Electronics Conference & Exhibition 2007. He will explain how printed semiconductor technology has taken mobile analytics and diagnostics completely out of the lab, enabling the development of cost-effective, highly sensitive mobile testing solutions for the life sciences market.
NANOIDENT Technologies AG is the technology leader in the development and manufacture of printed semiconductor-based sensor solutions. One of its market-focused subsidiaries, BIOIDENT Technologies Inc., leverages this core technology to deliver lab-on-a-chip systems for mobile analysis and diagnosis, enabling cost-effective real-time detection of multiple chemical and biological parameters. BIOIDENT offers complete solutions for medical, environmental and chemical/biological testing applications.

WHO:
DI Franz Padinger, CTO, NANOIDENT Technologies AG
Mr. Padinger, a world-renowned scientist in the field of organic semiconductor photophysics, photochemistry and photovoltaics, developed the world’s first plastic solar cell and is responsible for NANOIDENT's R&D activities. Prior to co-founding NANOIDENT, he served for two years as the CTO of Konarka Austria, where he worked with Dr. Alan Heeger, Nobel Laureate and inventor of organic semiconductors.

WHEN:
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
2:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. CET

WHERE:
Organic Electronics Conference & Exhibition 2007
Sheraton Frankfurt Hotel and Towers, Frankfurt, Germany

The 5th annual Organic Electronics Conference & Exhibition is hosted by cintelliq, a leading analyst for the organic electronics industry, and by the Organic Electronics Association (OE-A), the key industry association for organic electronics. The conference covers a broad range of topics, from applications to materials, equipment and process technology, and draws scientists, engineers, manufacturers and investors in organic semiconductor technologies and organic electronics.

WHY:
NANOIDENT’s unique expertise with printed optoelectronics allows a photodetector to be printed directly onto the lab-on-a-chip, greatly increasing system sensitivity while significantly decreasing system cost and complexity. As a result, affordable mobile analytics and diagnostics are available for a wide range of applications, from medical diagnosis to environmental testing to the detection of chemical and biological agents, providing real-time, point-of-use results to enable faster response to disease or contamination.
