Abstract:
It has been established in animal tests that this monitoring can be used as a reliable indicator of organ viability prior to implantation. The complete system has an easy-to-use interface, integrates seamlessly in a transport cool-box and conducts continuous, minimally invasive monitoring of the organ, making it a suitable tool for its intended clinical application. The system constitutes the starting point of a new line of equipment that, using custom multiprobe microsensors as core elements, will prompt the path towards new biomedical application niches in the field of microsystems.
