Giulia Giubertoni and Sander Woutersen receive IXA Proof-of-Concept funding

Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA), the technology-transfer office of the UvA, has awarded €100,000 Proof-of-Concept funding to Dr Giulia Giubertoni and Prof. Sander Woutersen at the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS). This will enable the researchers of the Molecular Photonics group to develop a new spectroscopic device capable of sizing molecules and nanoparticles, and assess its commercial potential. It will also help them to establish their spin-off company InSpectT.

Demonstrator Grant for development of a novel chemical probe

In their project IR-DOSY, Woutersen and Giubertoni envision a new device that can determine molecular structure and size simultaneously in a cost-effective, non-invasive and simple manner. Its working is based on the combination of microfluidic technology with infrared spectroscopy.
