Jobst Technologies GmbH
Jobst Technologies GmbH (www.jobst-technologies.com) was founded in 2002 at IMTEK, University of Freiburg and moved to Freiburg‘s Biotech Park & Innovation center in 2007 where it has set up numerous R&D and production processes clustering around polymer layer technologies and polymer synthesis and processing. Among them are also processes for polymers used in biosensing and other functional membranes like filters.
Strategic company development is inspired by the slogan: “Rational tech- nology integration aiming at bio- micro convergence.“ The company’s major activity segments are OEM manufacture of multi-biosensing nanofluidic devices like for the first of its kind glucose/lactate monitor on the market (approved in 2013), with the applications in intensive care units and operation theaters. Further company activities are rapid prototyped BioMEMS, contract development work on in vivo biosensors, sensors for clinical analysers (biosensing technology used in clinical and biotech analyzers), sensing and control microsystems for biotechnology monitoring, enabling microfluidics technologies for bioanalytical microsystems and nanofluidic biosensorarrays. Just emerging products encompass real-life operational micropumps and low power low cost flow rate sensors, also integrated within Jobst Technologies‘ micro-analyzers.
Recently the majority of Jobst Technologies was acquired by the Swiss sensor manufacturer Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG, which itself is part of Endress+Hauser, a large European group focused around process control and reaching far into the analytical field.
