Hohenstein

The HIT has been involved in the research and development of biobased high-tech materials since 1995 and has unique knowledge as an application-oriented competence center. The HIT supports the research project as a non-profit organization and employs an interdisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, material scientists as well as environmental and textile engineers with knowledge in material analysis, biocompatibility and eco-performance. The laboratory is qualified to use standard methods for assessing efficacy against microorganisms, for studying ecotoxicological interactions between products and the environment, and for in vivo tests systems. An in-house method for testing biodegradability in soil is established at HIT, as are further methods for determining aerobic biodegradation by means of respirometric measurements.
