FOCUSED SESSION 1: PRINTED BIOSENSORS FOR POINT-OF-CARE DIAGNOSTICS
Large-Area Interfaces for Single-Molecule Label-free Bioelectronic Detection
Bioelectronic transducing surfaces that are nanometric in size have been the main route to detect single molecules. Though enabling the study of rarer events, such methodologies are not suited to assay at concentrations below the nanomolar level. Bioelectronic field-effect-transistors with a wide (μm2–mm2) transducing interface are also assumed to be not suited, because the molecule to be detected
Screen-Printed Amperometric biosensors: a Balancing Act of Manufacturing properties, Cost Efficiency and Sensitivity
Amperometric sensors can be used for many applications, as they can be excellently manufactured in roll-to-roll printing processes. However, careful material selection is of particular importance for high sensitivity and selectivity. For example, the choice of reference electrode material is critical to ensure potential stability, and the working electrode material must be selected to match the r
