Welcome to the ISAS

ISAS is an independent research institute for physical and chemical analytics, specialising in the fields of bioanalytics, material analysis and spectroscopy. The institute generates solutions to analytical problems, and to this end develops new or improved measuring principles and procedures, analytical techniques, methods and equipment. The research and development projects handled by ISAS are geared to applications in the life and material sciences.

The institute unites scientists from various fields under one roof: e.g. physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers. We are a member of the Leibniz association and run different research sites in Dortmund and Berlin. We are also closely connected to the Universities in Dortmund (TU Dortmund), Bochum (Ruhr-University Bochum) and Berlin (TU Berlin) by joint professorships.

ISAS is currently subdivided into two research departments:
