At all stages of product development, the expertise of bioelectronics researchers and the know-how of multidisciplinary teams meet the demands of designing new medical devices.

The PRINTUP INSTITUTE technology platform dedicated to printed electronics is open to all types of collaboration or service provision, both to academics and to companies. It hosts start-ups that need formulations, surface treatments, digital deposition and characterization to realize complex printed devices and systems.

In printed electronics, it is essential for the proper functioning of the components to have a highly homogenous conductivity of the material over its entire surface. The material deposit must therefore be perfectly uniform; the thickness of the ink film, the type of substrate, the resolution, the pressure, the production speed are all elements to be parameterized.

The platform’s scientific expertise is essentially dedicated to 2D printing: inkjet, screen printing, evaporation and electrical, electrochemical and microscopic characterization.

The researchers have also strong know-how in the field of sensors: electrochemical, amperometric, impedimetric or electronic sensors. The service ranges from feasibility to prototyping and small series demonstrators.
