The innovative components utilized are: 1. 3D Through-Foil Vias (TFVs) for electrode connection, enabling simple liquid tight lamination of micro-fluidic channels; 2. Screen printed carbon and silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes on 3D vias; and 3. PET fluidics with a fabrication process compatible with large-area manufacturing. A platform integrating an Ag/AgCl pseudo-reference and a glucose oxidase (GOx)-modified working electrode has been used for glucose sensing in the flexible fluidics system. Detection of small glucose concentrations between 100-400 μM through Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) is shown. The sensor shows linear response and good sensitivity of ~0.8 mA/(mM cm2). By changing the electrode coatings, the same technology can potentially be used for detecting multiple analytes in biofluids.","PeriodicalId":6672,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems & Eurosensors XXXIII (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXXIII)","volume":"76 1","pages":"2464-2467"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86576300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
