Our Offering
Our biosensors provide long-term, robust measurements directly in complex biological media. The sensors are based on immobilized enzymes to detect the target analytes with high specificity and reliability.
We are the unrivaled competence leader in bioanalytical monitoring applications offering our biosensors and microfluidic integrations to companies, institutes and OEM world-wide.
The flexibility of our technology portfolio not only ensures competitive development and production but also allows realization of cost-effective customized solutions.
With manufacturing capacities in Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, iST Jobst and the iST Group are reliable partners for sensor solutions from concept to volume manufacture.
Our Impact
Real-world applications of our sensors include patient-specific metabolic monitors, blood gas analyzers serving hospitals in 90+ countries, organ-preservation and ‑transportation, analysis in bioprocessing from process development to ultra-high volume production equipment, organ-on-chip miniaturized measurement solutions, cell and gene therapy and other advanced therapies manufacturing and production equipment.
Past and current examples of impactful multi-country EU research collaborations include wearables to monitor metabolic conditions of first responders, dedicated organ-on-chip measurement solutions to elevate the field into broad acceptance and application, wafer-scale efficient microfluidic interfaces for CMOS sensors integrating biological components and silicone microfabrication, and automated, efficient and accurate sensor systems for process analytical technology in cell and gene therapy production.
