Microbiosensors using electrodes made in Si-technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Frontiers in Biosensorics I

Part of the book series: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 80))

Summary

The combination of electrochemical transducers made in silion technology with chemical and biochemical components has been used to manufacture miniaturized sensor structures. Three different types of sensors have been developed and optimized for practical use: (i) an ion-selective sensor, (ii) a glucose enzyme sensor, (iii) a redox-amplifying sensor for immunosensing. The immunodetection based on the redox recycling of mediator molecules is shown for low and high molecular weight analytes. The sensors have been integrated with miniaturized fluidic components and combined with sensor-related electronics and a common microcontroller.
