Publication number: 20210114023Abstract: A method for producing a detection system for biomolecules in a medium involves providing a first detector section having a first channel region and a second detector section having a second channel region. A membrane having at least one pore is provided and the first detector section and the second detector section are arranged on opposite sides of the membrane, such that at least part of the first channel region and the second channel region are separated by the membrane and the first channel region and the second channel region are connected to each another to form a channel system, in order to form a flow path for the medium through the at least one pore of the membrane. Along the flow path, through the membrane, bioreceptors are bound and/or coupled to the membrane in order to determine a concentration of the biomolecules in the medium by means of a measurement of the flow along the flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2018Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicants: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT DARMSTADT, TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT DARMSTADTInventors: Mario EL KHOURY, Wolfgang ENSINGER, H.

Patent number: 10301733Abstract: A template based process is used for the production of the nanowire structural element, wherein the nanowires are electrochemically depositioned in the nanopores. The irradiation is carried out at different angles, such that a nanowire network is formed. The hollow chamber-like structure in the nanowire network is established through the dissolving of the template foil and removal of the dissolved template material. The interconnecting of the nanowires provides stability to the nanowire structural element and an electrical connection between the nanowires is created thereby.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbHInventors: Thomas Cornelius, Wolfgang Ensinger, Reinhard Neumann, Markus Rauber

Patent number: 10227703Abstract: The invention concerns the production of segmented nanowires and components having said segmented nanowires. For the production of the nanowire structural element, a template based process is used preferably, wherein the electrochemical deposition of the nanowires in nanopores is carried out. In this manner, numerous nanowires are created in the template foil. For the electrochemical deposition of the nanowires, a reversed pulse procedure with an alternating sequence consisting of cathodic deposition pulses and anodic counter-pulses is carried out. By this means, segmented nanowires can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbHInventors: Thomas Cornelius, Wolfgang Ensinger, Reinhard Neumann, Markus Rauber

Publication number: 20140151236Abstract: Producing a nanowire structural element with a nanowire array between two cover layers forming a hollow chamber permeated in a column-like manner with nanowires. The process includes: preparing a template foil; application of a first surface covering electroconductive cover layer on a first side of the template foil; generation of numerous nanopores in the template foil; generation of nanowires in the nanopores wherein an electroconductive material fills the nanopores by electrochemical deposition, wherein the nanowires grow within the nanopores on the first cover layer; generation of a second surface filling cover layer on the second side of the template foil thus forming a sandwich-like arrangement of the two cover layers and the template foil permeated with nanowires; and clearing the structured hollow chamber between by dissolving of the template foil and removal of the dissolved template substance, wherein the two cover layers remain intact.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbHInventors: Thomas Cornelius, Wolfgang Ensinger, Reinhard Neumann, Markus Rauber

Patent number: 8685348Abstract: The invention concerns a nanowire structural element which is suited for implementation in, for example, a microreactor system or microcatalyzer system. For the production of the nanowire structural element, a template based process is used wherein the electrochemical deposition of the nanowires in nanopores is ideally carried out at least until caps are formed and said caps ideally are at least partially merged together. After reinforcing the two cover layers the structured hollow chamber between the two cover layers is cleared by dissolving the template foil and removing the dissolved template material, wherein the two cover layers remain intact. In this manner, a stable sandwich-like nanostructure is constructed with a two-dimensional hollow chamber-like structure in the plane parallel to the cover layers contained on both sides by the cover layers and permeated in a column-like manner with nanowires.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2009Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung GmbHInventors: Thomas Cornelius, Wolfgang Ensinger, Reinhard Neumann, Markus Rauber
