Located at the Research Center onNanoscience and Nanotechnology(CIN2), CSIC, at the campus of Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) the Biodeposition Unit consists of a versatile and automated molecular printer that can dispense minute volumes of solutions (from atto to femtoliter volumes) on a wide variety of surfaces to create user-defined patterns of spots or lines with high spatial resolution. The system is suitable for the functionalization of biosensors with any kind of biomolecule, nanoparticles, graphene or other nanostructures,for surface patterning for cell culture, or for the preparation of micro/nanoarrays, among other applications. The laboratory also harbors a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) service. The Unit is coordinated by Prof. LauraM. Lechuga, group leader from the Nanobiosensorsand Bioanalytical Applications Group (nanoB2A) at CIN2-CSIC.
FOR THOSE SERVICES IDENTIFIED AS OUTSTANDING, AT LEAST 20% OF THEIR CAPACITY IS OPEN UNDER COMPETITIVE ACCESS. SEE ANNEX 1 OF ACCESS PROTOCOL FOR DETAILS ON % OF OPENNESS FOR EACH SERVICE

Prof. Laura M. Lechuga, Scientific Director of NANBIOSIS Unit 4 Biodeposition and Biodetection Unit (from CIBER-BBN and ICN2-CSCIC) was awarded with the Physics, Innovation and Technology Award of the Royal Spanish Physics Society (RSEF) and the BBVA Foundation 2016. BBVA Foundation has dedicated an article to explain the EU CoNVaT project, led by Laura Lechuga, whose objective is to obtain a diagnostic test for COVID-19 from the first day of infection, fast but highly sensitive, and which does not require a laboratory or qualified personnel. A test made with extremely sophisticated technology, and at the same time low cost, applicable to[...]
