Single to use sensors that eliminate the electrode maintenance. Specially designed to work with microvolumes, this inexpensive miniaturized solution presents high reproducibility making them ideal for working in decentralized assays or to develop (bio)sensors in environmental, clinical or agri-food areas.
Self-powered electrochromic biosensors with a potential of being “instrumentless” sensoric devices for analyte detection and for the development of biofuel cells (BFC)
The 2 carbon electrodes can be modified with appropriate enzymes to become the cathode and
anode of BFC; the PEDOT electrode can be modified with a dye that changes its color when it is
oxidized or reduced. Thus, the power of the BFC can be used to start the oxidation or reduction of the dye, an
hence its color change, thus making this device a BFC sensor.
Two silver paths placed in the lateral sides of the substrate are intended for connection with an external device
to measure or control the potential.
The design, geometry, substrate material, size or inks of this reference can be customized under your specifications and produced in large quantities upon request. For more information please contact us at info.dropsens@metrohm.com
