InTopSens is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STReP), funded by the European Union within the 7th Framework Programme for research and technological development. It consists of 7 European academic and industrial research partners in a multidisciplinary project (photonics, electronics, fluidics, medicine and bio-chemistry) to develop a high value, fast but economical sepsis diagnostic technology. The consortium aims to develop a compact polymer and silicon-based CMOS-compatible Lab on a Chip sensor platform which is based on two label-free biomolecular recognition optical sensor technologies. Sensitivities of these are targeted by the project collaborators down to 0.1ng/ml which would make them state-of-the-art for label-free integrated optical biosensors and together with innovative coupling technology would permit integration of hundreds of sensors per square millimetre. Ultimately the project targets the feasibility of a rapid and easy to use diagnostic test for sepsis at "point of care" in the intensive care unit environment permitting more cost-effective routine screening or monitoring of bacteria.
