The brand-new analysis lab will assist in such a high throughput that the outcomes can be fed directly back into the process to refine forecast and adjust the synthesis specifications. This produces a constant “feedback loop” that makes it possible for the products to quickly attain a level of quality that makes them suitable for further standard clinical trials and, most importantly, for applications in practice.
“At the Ruhr Innovation Lab, we are together planning research infrastructures and combining the strengths of both universities in the field of materials science to speed up the transfer of unique products from basic research study to business applications. For digital innovations, for instance, our society needs new semiconductors made up of raw materials that are easily offered on the worldwide market over the longer term,” stated Teacher Martin Paul, Rector of Ruhr University Bochum. “This is where the new analysis lab can make an important contribution. It will position a variety of laser analysis methods at our scientists’ disposal that is exceptional worldwide. In the future, external users may likewise take advantage of the new centers, which we wish to develop into a European referral lab in the coming years,” stated Teacher Manfred Bayer, President of TU Dortmund University.
Facilities for top-class international research
The new lab is hosted by the Department of Physics and the DAEDALUS Proving Ground, which accumulates competence in the field of spectroscopy at TU Dortmund University. Teacher Marc Aßmann and Dr. Jörg Debus are collaborating the setting up of the ten new private labs.
