LOW-COST MICROFLUIDIC SENSORS WITH SMART HYDROGEL PATTERNED ARRAYS USING ELECTRONIC RESISTIVE CHANNEL SENSING FOR READOUT

Low-Cost Microfluidic Sensors with Smart Hydrogel Patterned Arrays Using Electronic Resistive Channel Sensing for Readout

There is a strong commercial need for inexpensive point-of-use sensors for monitoring disease biomarkers or environmental contaminants in drinking water.Point-of-use sensors that employ smart polymer hydrogels as recognition elements can be tailored to detect almost any target analyte, but often suffer from long response times.Hence, we describe he
