Micromachined Amperometric Nitrate Sensor with Integrated Microfluidics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nitrate-sensing system that consists of a micromachined sensor substrate, nitrate-permeable membrane, integrated microfluidic channels, and standard fluidic connectors has been designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested. Our microsensor was designed for in-situ monitoring of nitrate concentrations in ground water. A silver electrode was patterned for amperometric nitrate detection. An electrochemically oxidized silver electrode was used as a reference electrode. Microfluidic channels were fabricated as flow paths for the eluent and ground-water sample to the microelectrochemical (MEC) cell. The sensor also incorporates a nitrate-permeable membrane that is used for selective measurement of nitrate. The sensor has a linear response over concentration ranging from 1 μM to 1 mM.

For an example of a silicon-based micromachined analyzer, we describe a combined PO2, PCO2, and pH sensor designed for extracorporeal blood gas monitoring. The clinically well-accepted amperometric (PO2) and potentiometric (PCO2, pH) sensing principles are used, realized in a planar and miniaturized form on a single silicon chip (6 x 22 mm). The transducer part of the chip is fabricated by stan...
