„UPTURN – Microfluidic cells for high-throughput multiple response analyses”
The aim of the UPTURN project is the development of a first-of-its-kind, multiparametric instrumentation equipment integrating microfluidic electrochemical cells and advanced microelectrodes materials, and being compatible with other in situ analyses technologies such as UV-Vis, FTIR/IR, Raman, NMR and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy. The main vision is to develop a powerful, yet flexible research tool, which is open to customization of all its components, experimental conditions and downstream analysis by users. We envision that such tools will revolutionize laboratory analysis in the future.
- Closing the Upturn project – a success after 3.5 years of hard work!
On April 30, 2024, the Upturn project, which the Polish-Norwegian scientific and research consortium successfully implemented for the last 3.5 years, ended. This project, co-financed by Norwegian funds, aimed to develop breakthrough solutions in the field of microfluidic electrochemical cells. - Current status of work in the project
Microfluidics is a field of science investigating processes and technologies for handling liquids in volumes in range of nano- to microliters. Thanks to the small volumes, precise control and manipulation of liquids is possible on a scale where surface forces prevail over volumetric ones. Microfluidics covers a wide spectrum of research applications and is firmly embedded in the trends towards miniaturization and automation of systems. - Holder design process
Our team’s research consists of several main points. First, we developed the design of microchannel chips, inside which there are electrodes dedicated to electrochemical measurements. Next, we are working on a microchip holder. We are currently at the stage of subsequent iterations of the holder design and testing of microfluidic chips. - IEE SENSORS 2023 conference
Last week, Elizaveta Vereshchagina and Paul Wittendorp (SINTEF, Norway) attended the IEEE SENSORS 2023 international conference in Vienna.
In the UPTURN project, the redoxme AB Branch in Poland fulfills the role of a leader
