چکیده
Microfluidicsand nanofluidics-based impedance sensors play an important role in identification of toxic industrial chemicals and pathogens in biodetection and biodefense arena. However, their efficient modeling and design continues to be a challenge. This paper presents high-fidelity models to resolve the electrokinetic transport process at the microand nano-scale and capture the critical effects of various design parameters on the electrokinetic transport and sensor performance such as medium concentration, electric conductivity, feature sizes, and fluidic manipulation. The models, verified by experiments, can be utilized for fast, accurate analysis, design, and protocol development of novel microand nanofluidics based impedance sensors.
