In collaboration with the industry and our project partners, we develop and check case-specific solutions for challenges such as how existing biofilms can be tackled and their formation controlled and reduced.
With the help of existing test systems as well as customer-specific modifications and developments, we can observe and analyze biofilm formation.
We deal mainly with microbial biofilms, which can cause serious problems on certain surfaces. Examples include infections in the body, on implants and in medical devices, the destruction of building materials, machinery and materials, the corrosion and clogging of piping systems, and the reduction of heat transfer in heat exchangers.
