An oscillation-based technique for degradation monitoring of sensing and actuation electrodes within microfluidic systems.
Reports on methods for monitoring the integrity of electrode structures in biofluidic microsystems. The originality is encapsulated within the concept, the two solutions that are both novel and the algorithms for degradation detection. Co-authored by Moore Instruments. The work leads the way within the international community as competitors (Chakrabati, DUKE University and Kerkhoff, Uni. Of Twente) have not developed competing solutions for electrode technology. The analysis of the underpinning science and the portfolio of hardware measurements delivers evidence of rigour and the transfer of outputs to industrial collaborators EPIGEM and QinetiQ has delivered capability for further commercial impact.
