7 august 2014 PSi membranes integrated with fluidics
It took a loooot of time but in the end we've got it! Thanks to Cristina and Romain we finally succeed in integrating the PSi membranes with fluidics in a reliable manner.

24 april 2013 Project Kick-off Meeting
The kick off meeting was held at the Department of Physics of the University of Trento. It was the first opportunity for the partners to meet all together.
It has been a very productive meeting with in depth discussion of the first activities to be performed and a planning of the initial experiments.
