TU Wien Research Technology Innovation

Liquid-liquid separation technology is crucial in industries like #Petrochemicals, #Pharmaceutics, and #Biochemistry. Centrifugal extractors enable efficient mixing and separation with minimal noise, vibration, and dead volume. A team of scientists led by Michael Harasek at Technische Universität Wien has developed a novel liquid-liquid extractor that improves #LLE efficiency. This compact design merges the two stages of extraction, enhancing separation and enabling automation for continuous production. Fewer mechanical parts reduce dead volume, space, and operational costs, making it time- and cost-efficient. The patented design has received positive industry feedback, suitable for both analytical-scale labs and large-scale industrial applications. #Innovation #Technology #Extraction #Separation #Efficiency #Automation #TUWtech

Innovation for the Construction Industry 🚧: Mobile Bitumen Quality Scanner Bitumen is a key material in road construction, sealing, and corrosion protection. However, over time, it loses its desired properties – and traditional testing methods are often complex, time-consuming, and limited to laboratory environments. That’s about to change! Prof. Hinrich Grothe and his team at Technische Universität Wien have developed a mobile fluorescence scanner that enables fast, precise, and on-site quality control – no trained personnel required. Using LEDs to stimulate fluorescence, a photomultiplier (PMT) to capture the response, and smart software to analyze results, this scanner brings laboratory precision directly to the field. A major step towards efficient, cost-effective, and practical bitumen analysis! Interested in this technology?

Innovative Concrete Formwork Solution: Shaping Polystyrene Sheets for Double-Curved Panels Casting complex concrete elements typically involves costly and time-consuming methods like CNC milling or 3D printing. However, these techniques face challenges in regards to scalability, cost, and material waste. A new, cost-effective solution offers a promising alternative by using XPS (polystyrene) sheets to create double-curved concrete panels. The process begins with designing in 3D software, followed by CNC milling on the XPS sheet to transfer the pattern. The sheet is then submerged in an acetone-water mixture, softening it to enable deformation under the weight of the concrete. This method offers precise control, reusability, and can be easily adapted to different sizes and shapes of concrete elements. This breakthrough bridges the gap between high-tech flexibility and low-tech affordability, enabling greater creativity in concrete casting while maintaining scalability and cost efficiency. Key Benefits: - Cost-effective for casting complex concrete forms - High precision in shaping final elements - Reusable for similar casting processes - Scalable and adaptable to different project sizes #Concrete #Construction #Formwork #SustainableDesign #BuildingSolutions #TUWtech

A new biochip technology enables precise, non-invasive analysis of endothelial barrier integrity. By combining trans-endothelial electrical resistance (#TEER) measurements with impedance spectroscopy, it allows real-time monitoring of cell surface coverage and barrier function. Unlike conventional TEER setups, this system integrates thin-film electrodes onto porous membranes, ensuring more reliable measurements. Its highly integrated electrodes enable studies on nanoparticle translocation across endothelial layers—crucial for atherosclerosis, drug delivery, and disease modeling. The system supports quadruple co-culture, providing insights into how (bio)chemical and mechanical stimuli affect tissue models. Key advantages: ✅ Reliable microelectrode fabrication ✅ Multi-parametric, real-time monitoring ✅ Non-invasive nanoparticle permeation assessment This breakthrough enhances microfluidic biosensing, advancing nanomedicine and cardiovascular research.

⚡ The ‘electric pill’ for the parasympathetic nervous system 💊 A study by TU Wien reveals how nerve stimulation can be optimized by aligning it with the body's natural rhythms. This approach could significantly enhance treatment outcomes for chronic pain, inflammation, and neurological disorders. Techniques like vagus nerve stimulation, often referred to as the "electric pill," use electrodes to activate the nerve via the ear. However, the study shows this method works best when synchronized with heartbeats and breathing patterns. For example, stimulation during heart contraction (systole) and inhalation proves far more effective. “By tailoring nerve stimulation to individual physiological rhythms, this non-invasive technology holds promise for treating chronic conditions more effectively.” says Prof. Eugenijus Kaniusas from the Institute of Biomedical Electronics at TU Wien, lead author of the study.
