Research & Technology
Sensile Medical is specialized in nanoliter based medical devices.
Sensile Medical has developed and patented five core technologies which are essential components of its products.
Sensile Medical’s μ-Pump Module
Sensile Medical’s μ-pump module enables predetermined quantities of liquids to be pumped with high accuracy (in the sub microliter range). It is small, cost-effective, and disposable.
Sensile Medical’s Flowmeter
Sensile Medical is developing a flowmeter, which allows the measurement of very low changes in the viscosity of a fluid. With its novel measurement technique, changes in fluidic systems can be controlled in an unique way. Safer and more meaningful measurements are possible.
Sensile Medical’s Sensitive Fluid
Sensile Medical is working on the development and optimization of a glucose sensitive fluid. This fluid consists of a polysaccharide and a well-known protein in an aqueous solution. The properties of the protein-polysaccharide complex change in the presence of glucose. These changes can be used to determine the glucose concentrations.
Sensile Medical’s Dialysis Membranes
Sensile Medical is developing and optimizing semi-permeable membranes suitable for the selective permeability of glucose in aqueous systems.
Combined with Sensile Medical’s μ-pump and the sensitive fluid, such membranes are playing an essential role in glucose monitoring systems.
Sensile Medical’s Rheology Techniques
Sensile Medical is using a novel and unique measurement technique to detect the glucose level in the human body. This technique is based on the combination of viscosity measurement in conjunction with Sensile Medical’s in-house developed measurement techniques. The result is an especially reliable measurement and detection system which can be used for various applications.
