Last week Genís Garcia Rabost, traveled to Laussane to attend the Swiss Sweat Science and Technology Symposium (#3STS), the first international symposium for researchers in human #sweat physiology, sweat detection technologies and applications in sports performance and #biomedicine. There we presented the results obtained in the Industrial PhD with ONALABS innoHUB on the bioequivalence of #lactate between blood and sweat. Genís returned to Barcelona with the award for best poster.Congratulations!!!!

The new website for the Spanish Microfluidics Network is now up and running. You can check the next activities in: https://miflunet.com/

BIOASTER is the only Technological Research Institute in the field of health in France, which
focuses on infectious diseases and microbiology. Dr. Mehdrel's position will focus on the employment of microfluidics for monitoring the reaction and response of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and biofilms to different types and concentrations of drugs.
New abstract entitled "Capillary Microfluidics for Immunoassays by Integrating 3D Printing and Pressure- Sensitive Adhesive" will be presented by Pooya Azizian PhD student in MicroTech Lab will be presented in The 25th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (µTAS 2021)

Congratulations to Genís Rabost for his outstanding work and especially to all team members of OnaLab project where these models are being applied. More information can be found:
The first 2021 meeting of the Spanish Microfluidics Network (MIFLUNET) took place online the 25 of January. This year for the first time MicroTech Lab has joined the Spanish Microfluidics Network.
It was a great opportunity to discuss about the work carried out by the Network during the past year and to decide the new lines to follow fo the 2021.
It was great to see you all!

The ‘Anti-Trash‘ project kicked off its implementation for the year 2021 on February 9th.
Partners have discussed the progress made in 2020, as well as the timing and implementation of project tasks for 2021.
The aim of the project is to develop an integrated smart trash detection and damage prevention solution for shared mobility and public transportation operators. The multi-disciplinary consortium will develop and demonstrate a machine-vision based trash detection system, and an air-quality management system, as well as develop internal materials more suitable for shared vehicle applications. The implementation of the EIT Urban Mobility innovation project started in 2020.
The cross-country partnership led by Aalto University includes industry, academia, research, and city partners, extending the transferability and replicability of the project across the EU. These partners are:
- Aalto University (Finnland)
- Technical University of Catalonia - MicroTech Lab (Spain)
- CARNET – UPC Technology Center (Spain)
- SEAT (Spain)
- TUSGSAL (Spain)
- City of Hamburg – Hamburg Hochbahn (Germany)
- City of Zalaegerszeg (Hungary)
- Technische Universität Braunschweig, Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik (Germany)
- ZONE Cluster (Hungary)
- Electrobus Europe (Hungary)
- Plezintor Ltd. (Hungary)
The demonstration events within the project link to customer requirements and perceptions of the developed solution, to validate its sustainability and viability on the market of urban mobility solutions.
MicroTech Lab develops a novel Odour Detection system for indoor air-quality in shared transportation systems. During this year, Electrobus Europe will test the developed solution installed on their bus in a real city environment and SEAT will do the same in their first shared vehicle concept car.
A new article by MicroTech Lab group is just published at the prestigious Food Chemistry Journal. It shows the firt 3D-printed ionic strength sensor based on microfluidics that allows the control of wine ionic strength near the production process. Such Technology is an advancement in portable devices to achieve quantification with accuracy in out of lab environments.
Congrats to Pouya, Shadi and Josep
