Our Services

If you have questions about the current status or doubts about the proper functioning of an ultrasound device and its probes or if you need relevant field parameters for your bioeffect studies from the ultrasound devices used, we will be happy to assist you.

 

We also develop phantoms/test bodies for customer-specific applications or support you with our expertise in experimental studies and education projects.

 

If terms such as sampling rate, bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, sensitivity and resolution cause confusion, shielding, grounding and earthing have to be taken into account in order to carry out a clean measurement, please feel free to contact us. We help you choose the right measuring device and advise you on setting up the test and measurement setup. We are also available with advice and action for developments for your research projects or experimental studies.

 

The electronics team of our center supports the development of new electronic devices in various research projects.
Circuit design, PCB development, cable assembly, signal measurements and embedded software are part of electronics development.
If you have questions or need support on these topics, our electronics team is ready to provide advice and assistance.

Our Center coordinates a large research infrastructure that provides access to several additive manufacturing methods and systems. Different materials ranging from (bio)polymers, metals and ceramics can be used. Parts in dimensions from mirco-nano scale to macroscopic scale can be manufactured. The devices have been installed primarily in our Center and also at the cooperating partner institutes including the Center for Biomedical Research of the Medical University of Vienna, PROFACTOR and ACMIT.

High resolution 3D Scanning

The scanner system offers a high level of detail and operates extremely stably and reliably even with temperature fluctuations. Within seconds, complex surfaces of fragile or deformable parts are captured with high precision. The scanner can also capture the texture of measured objects. A large measuring range and high resolution can be achieved through interchangeable lenses.

There are two different clean rooms at our centre.

Elektro-Mechanic Cleanroom

The cleanroom for electro/mechanical assembly supports different projects, which needs an assembly, moulding or  electrical testing of implant, electrodes or delicate devices where an dust free area is needed.

Polymer Cleanroom

This clean room (class 1000) is equipped with a laboratory oven, a clean workbench and an optical microscope.

We can support you with material characterisations.

Characterisation of surfaces and fluids

• Contact angle measurement
• Rotational rheometer

Mechanical testing of various parts

• Tensile, Intrusion and bending testing of plastics, biomaterials, sensitive structures
• Quasistatic and dynamic tests
• Custom setups

In our workshops, which are equipped with various lathes, milling machines and many other machines up to CAD/CAM software, we can process a wide range of materials (steel, plastics,...).

 

Our workshops offer the possibility to produce mechanical parts and devices from non iron material to steel. The team try to support you to realise your idea and to adopt your design on the different possibilities.
