Field sensors performance

The need for improved sensor performance has led to the emergence of micro and nanofluidics. These fields seek to develop miniaturized analysis systems that combine the desired attributes in a compact and cost-effective setting. These platforms are commonly labeled as labs-on-chip or micro total analysis systems (pTAS)2, often using optical methods to realize a desired functionality. The preeminent role that optics play has recently led to the notion of optofluidics as an independent field that deals with devices and methods in which optics and fluidics enable each other3. Most of the initial lab-on-chip advances, however, occurred in the area of fluidics, while the optical components continued to consist largely of bulk components such as polarizers, filters, lenses, and objectives. [Pg.488]

Abstract This chapter reviews the basic theory and applications of piezoelectric immunosensors. The immunosensor assay formats most often used are introduced as well as a brief explanation of the typical methods of measurement. Immobilisation is discussed, the importance of each characteristic, the basic techniques employed and a comparison of their performance as investigated by many researchers. The main historical developments of piezoelectric sensors and how these have led to early piezoelectric immunosensors are reviewed. Immunosensor applications and a comparison of sensor performance, for various analytes are summarised. The potential future of this field is also discussed. [Pg.237]

Despite the established sensing approach, in particular for gas phase measurements, extensive studies of optical O2 sensors are still continuing in an effort to enhance sensor performance, reduce sensor cost and size, simplify fabrication, and develop an O2 sensor that is compatible with in vivo biomedical monitoring [56]. Development of field deployable, compact sensors such as those envisioned for the structurally integrated OLED-based platform is therefore expected to be beneficial for the varied needs of gas... [Pg.64]

In attempts to develop field-deployable sensors, efforts focus on, e.g., enhancing sensor performance, reducing sensor cost and size, and simplifying fabrication. We are therefore developing a compact PL-based O2 sensor to evaluate a fully integrated platform, where the PL excitation source is an OLED array and the PD is a p-i-n structure based on thin films of hydrogenated amorphous Si (a-Si H) and related materials, or nanocrystalline Si [18]. [Pg.87]

Although some of those problems may be tackled through an hardware approach (improvement of sensor performances, optimisation of sensor chamber, control of gas line, etc.), most of them must be solved by a suitable on-line signal processing directly embedded in the field instrument. [Pg.128]

The reason for using a special kind of subunits in this particular model is that, for example, such enzymes as pronase can eliminate sodium channel inactivation without affecting its conductance. Generally speaking, the gate itself might be performing the function of field sensor, but the portion of... [Pg.424]

Also the polysiloxane gel functionalized by sensitive macromolecules a-CD and p CD have been synthesized and used as a receptor for Ion-Sensitive Field Transistors (ISFET) and Electrolyte Insulator Semiconductor (EIS) ions sensors [25]. The samples were characterized by electrochemical measurements in several ionic concentrations in aqueous solution. The role of interfering ions and sensor stability was investigated. The sensor performance sensitivity increases by incorporating of CD receptor in the gel structure. The responses of a-CD-PS/EIS and a-CD-PS/ISFET to Cd ion are similar. These results indicate that sensitivity... [Pg.1510]
