Inactivating coronaviruses in aerosols - Test rig with UV-C radiation at Tübingen University Hospital
31/05/2021
Virologists at the University Hospital in Tübingen seek to use a test rig to establish how coronaviruses in aerosols can be inactivated by UV-C radiation.
Crystal clear and heat resistant - COC films for microfluidics
04/11/2021
COC films are particularly well suited for use in microfluidics. Typical applications for COC film are, for example, cast chips that are sealed with such a film and can then be used in PCR tests to determine the test result there using an optical method. See more in the video!
