ASCOS 2009 - Optical Chemical Sensors for Environmental and Food Safety
[26 Aug - 03 Sep 2009]

>> 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
