Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This proposal is for the development of a novel microfabricated electrochemical sensing system for monitoring physiologically important molecules. The key feature will be the incorporation of techniques to eliminate the fouling normally associated wilth electrochemical sensors. The structure to be developed overcomes the fouling problems by incorporating an innovative fluid microflow membrane system to the sensing elements which provide a constantly self renewing liquid film. The research involves the fabrication of microelectrode arrays on silicon substrates to permit electrochemical measurements and the micromachining of open fluid conduits over the electrode arrays.
