We, the Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM, offer cooperation opportunities and research services in the fields of microstructuring, prototype development and automation.


We are active in a wide range of application areas, including

- flow chemistry (reactive intermediates for pharmaceutical applications),

- media monitoring (condition monitoring of process media and determination of microorganisms, monitoring of critical product parameters and real-time quality control of food and in food production processes, leak detection in circuits, high-precision components for imaging spectroscopy to monitor climate and environmental changes),

- infection diagnostics (PCR-based diagnostics of infectious diseases, pandemic control, rapid detection of sepsis),

- nanoparticle systems (targeted drug delivery at the site of action, encapsulation of sensory active ingredients, value-added substances and matrix components, materials with customized properties) and

- single-cell analytics (cancer diagnostics, research into therapy development and therapy success monitoring, drug synthesis via sustainable routes).


We have access to our own clean room, a fully equipped workshop and a specialized software team.

We look forward to hearing from you!
