>> The Advanced Study Course on Optical Sensors - ASCOS , is an ECTS accredited European initiative to establish an education, discussion and contact platform for young researchers working in the strongly growing field of optochemical (bio)sensors and (bio)sensor arrays..
>> These objectives are accomplished through teaching theory and basics on a level every participant can follow and then assigning individual problems to small groups of participants where they have to apply the gained knowledge on practical, current problems.
>> Topics will include basic principles of optical sensor techniques & bioassays together with applications & commercial aspects:
- absorbance, luminescence and IR methods
- optical components and instrumentation
- label-free detection techniques
- bio- and bio-mimetic receptors
- surface plasmon resonance sensors
- bio- and bio-mimetic receptors
- immobilization methods
- DNA- and protein chip technology
- microfluidics & lab-on-a-chip
- integrated systems
- environmental analysis
- food safety
- quality management & IPR
