Excursion to OMV Gänserndorf 13. March 2019
In mid March of 2019, the Quantared team visited the premises of OMV at Gänserndorf to test the advances of their liquid-liquid extraction unit, as well as the interplay with the sample conditioning unit developed by OMV.
Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)
In order to define photonic structures in a certain layer of material first some areas are protected with a material on top (e.g. polymer or metal) while others remain exposed to the exterior.
UV contact mask lithography
The process flow comprises mainly three steps: the deposition of a thin layer of a photopolymer, the UV illumination through a glass mask with transparent/opaque patterns and the developing.
2nd Review Meeting Brussels (25th September, Belgium)
The main purpose of the meeting was to provide an in-depth update of the progress of the action and to assess the degree to which the work plan has been carried out.
Flow cell Oil-in-Water analyzer
Flow cell for the inline Oil-in-Water analyzer is ready! It provides the interface between the liquid and the semiconductor chip with integrated optical circuit, allowing for sensing by means of evanescent wave spectroscopy.
