Jobst Technologies GmbH

Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

Continuous Robust Biosensors for medical devices: Jobst Technologies GmbH, founded in 2002, is a technology orientated enterprise offering its core competencies in the overlap between micro systems technology, (bio)electrochemical analytics, and microfluidics both as service and products to his customers. The company, located in the newly opened FRIZ Freiburg, is unrivaled competence leader in bioanalytical monitoring applications with OEM products in clinical routine and biotechnology as well as with his own products for R D applications. B2B contract development together with participation in EU research projects provides permanent extension of the company s technology and product portfolio. The company s major activity segments are OEM supply of multi-biosensing nanofluidic devices like for the first of its kind glucose/lactate monitor on the market (approved in 2013), with the applications in intensive care units and operation theaters. Further company activities are rapid prototyped BioMEMS, contract development work on in vivo biosensors, sensors for clinical analysers (biosensing technology used in clinical and biotech analyzers), sensing and control microsystems for biotechnology monitoring, enabling microfluidics technologies for bioanalytical microsystems and nanofluidic biosensor-arrays. Just emerging products encompass real-life operational micropumps and low power low cost flow rate sensors, also integrated within Jobst Technologies' micro-analyzers. “Rational technology integration aiming at bio-micro convergence“ is a slogan created by Gerhard Jobst, founder and CEO of Jobst Technologies. In combination with strong dedication to customer satisfaction this lead to real world proof systems of outstanding reliability and stability. In 2015 the majority of Jobst Technologies was acquired by the Swiss sensor manufacturer Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG. IST AG belongs to Endress Hauser, a large European group focused around process control and reaching far into the analytical field.
