Nanalysis Corp and Fraunhofer IMM anchor multi-party international research project

Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems IMM and Nanalysis Corp. are the national leads on a new research project funded in part by the German and Canadian governments. TROUT GmbH, (Kassel, DE) and Dr. Jason Hein of the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) will join the principals on an exciting new research project, NMRplusX.

The project, NMRplusX, combines orthogonal spectroscopic analysis and chemometrics as a process analytical tool for calibration and self-optimising chemical processes. The four partners will cooperatively apply their expertise to build exciting new systems that may be used in Industry 4.0 applications.

The project is funded in part in Germany by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research and in Canada by the National Research Council and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. Bruce Lix, Director Business Development at Nanalysis states “We look forward to re-engaging with Fraunhofer IMM, UBC and new partner TROUT on this exciting and ground-breaking new project.” Thomas Rehm, Senior Scientist for Flow Chemistry at IMM, refers to the excellent cooperation with Nanalysis: “With the project NMRplusX we are able to set the stage for novel online analytical techniques applicable to a broad range of continuous flow syntheses. The expertise of Trout GmbH and Dr. Jason Hein from UBC will promote the foregoing work of Nanalysis and IMM to a new level of intelligent control for online analytics.”
