The focus of Landquart Center is the development and integration of innovative nano- and bio- technologies into product platforms addressing relevant problems in healthcare. The Center has a considerable experience in the development of point-of-care devices for diagnostics, health monitoring and process monitoring based on optical or electrochemical detection methods, sample preparation and analysis methods for biosensors, as well nano- and microparticle detection and characterization methods.

The sector Optoelectronic Systems has a long track record in the development of application specific, customized, optoelectronic readers for a wide range of applications, many of which have been successfully transferred to industrial partners in Switzerland and Europe. The main focus in the group are compact detection modules for fluorescence intensity and lifetime detection. The group also developed a range of optical modules for the detection and characterization of micro- and nanoparticles, based on UV/VIS absorption, multi-angle light scattering (MALS) and laser-induced breakdown detection (LIBD).
