Compact Sensor for Environmental Monitoring

This report describes a simple means of detecting trace amounts of gaseous substances in the atmosphere. In the fabrication processes for semiconductor LSIs, production defects occur if gas phase contaminants in the atmosphere stick to the wafer being processed. To overcome this problem, I have developed and am currently applying a contamination sensor that uses a quartz crystal microbalance (Q...

Conductometric Microbiosensors for Environmental Monitoring

This review presents the principles of conductometric measurements in ionic media and the equivalent electrical circuits of different designs for conductometric measurements. These types of measurements were first applied for monitoring biocatalytic reactions. The use of conductometric microtransducers is then presented and detailed in the case of pollutant detection for environmental monitorin...

Biosensor Arrays for Environmental Monitoring

Environmental monitoring involves several steps such as sampling, sample handling and sample transportation to specialized laboratories, sample preparation and analysis. Traditional environmental monitoring approaches are based on discrete sampling methods followed by laboratory analysis. These approaches do not improve our understanding of the natural processes governing chemical species behav...
