Newly designed dual-mode electrochemical sensor onto a single polydimethylsiloxane-based chip
Abstract(#br)Here we present a planar polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based millifluidic device in which the channel (at a serpentine-shape) and a new design of electrochemical sensor (dual-mode detection) are assembled into a single chip. The platform makes use of a fully integrated reservoir to place the reference electrode, separating it from the flowing stream. The device was properly characterized aiming to evaluate the influences of channel geometries and diameters, and the electrochemical properties were improved compared with the classical reference electrode configuration.
