Raspberry Pi driven flow-injection system for electrochemical continuous monitoring platforms

Abstract

The degree of interest in bio-sensing platforms brings to the forefront a corresponding need for effective testing of their capabilities. This necessity is even more crucial when examining the properties of a sensor for continuous monitoring of a concentration trend in time, before in vivo implementations. Moreover, in the framework of personalised medical practices, it is imperative to introduce a robust way to represent and parametrise the highly variable responses of human metabolism. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel solution for the design of an automatic flow-injection environment that can assess the performance of systems for continuous monitoring. The setup is also approved for successfully reproducing a paracetamol concentration trend in buffer solution.
