glucose in saliva and the spectrometer was Sensors 2017, 17, 2607 10 of 12 Despite the small error in measured absorbance between the proposed LOC and the UV-Vis spectrometer, we confirmed that the analytical performance of the proposed glucose sensor was similar to that of the UV-Vis ...
Introduction According to the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) definition, a biosensor is "a self-contained integrated device which is capable of providing specific quantitative or semi- quantitative analytical instrumentation using a biological recognition element (biochemical ...
Over the past decade, complex laboratory workflows have been implemented through on-chip technologies [2–5], ranging from the generation of chemical gradients [6,7], over microfluidic-based nanopar- ticle fabrication [8], their surface modification [9,10] to point-of-care diagnostics [11] ...
Advances in integrated microfluidics platforms have made possible the miniaturization of analytical techniques on-chip to enable accurate and high-throughput assays in a more automated manner. Other advantages relate to the low-cost of their production, the precise con- trol of working parameters, ...
