Laser & photonics


specialised optomechanical hardware for the multi- spectral sensor. Wasatch Photonics offers highly sensitive Raman spectrometers and systems that can be adapted for OEM use. Its integrated Raman systems for 785, 830 and 1,064nm include a Raman spectrometer with a spectral resolution of <10cm−1, laser and sampling optics. These modules are being integrated into point-of-care testing devices for non- invasive and serum-based diagnostics.


A combination of technologies The development and production of optical biosensors and POC devices requires a combination of expertise from many different fields. For example, a typical spectroscopic unit requires the combination of fibre optics, electronics and hermetic sealing for an integrated system. The ecosystem is complex and requires significant collaboration between diverse groups from component manufactures to system integrators and end-users. To ensure the innovation behind these combined devices continues, the EU supported the creation of Europe’s first pre- commercial production line for photonics-based medical diagnostics. The EU project or Pilot Line, named MedPhab, offers a wide portfolio of photonics technologies: fibre optics, micro-optics, integrated circuits and active components. The modular


technology approach allows MedPhab to simplify the development of diverse systems. The MedPhab pilot production line accelerates the commercialisation of measurement, monitoring, and diagnostic devices and treatment instruments. Seamless operation between ISO13485-certified companies and RTOs makes MedPhab a single-entry point that can serve companies working at different technology readiness levels. Furthermore, the project operates within medical domain setting requirements, which considerably accelerates the regulatory approval process.


MedPhab has already demonstrated some of its capabilities by setting up a fully automated, high- volume manufacturing process for highly sensitive plasmonic-fluidic sensors for molecular diagnostics. Companies interested in manufacturing, testing, validating or upscaling new photonics technologies for medical diagnostics can contact MedPhab directly or apply for the Demo Cases Open Call – a new programme set up to help fund chosen products. Companies developing POCT technology, looking for new partners or suppliers of photonics technologies, or just interested in learning more about the potential they have should not miss the upcoming EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Medical Devices on 6 December 2021 at 3pm CET. ●
