nano-films consisting of an alternating sequence of positively and negatively charged polyelectrolyteshave been prepared by means of the electrostatic layer-by-layer sequential assembly technique on mildsteels. the mild steels were pretreated electrochemically to modify the mild steel surface. the modificationof the mild steel surface resulted in increasing the adhesion of the obtained nano-fil...

This paper presents a fully implantable, wirelessly powered subcutaneous amperometric biosensor. We propose a novel ultra-low power all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) based potentiostat architecture for electrochemical sensing. The system is wirelessly powered by near-field RF coupling of an on-chip antenna to an external coil at 915 MHz. Bi-directional wireless telemetry supports data trans...

This article describes new approach of modern potentiostat systems for the determination of lead in solders used in electrotechnic industry. It was studied electrochemical detection methods to enable accurate detection of heavy metals. With regard to the requirements of these methods are proposed facility presented. The general aim is principles of quantitative heavy metal detection by the elec...

We describe the fabrication and characterization of components of a biosensor system that can be used for simultaneous screening of multiple pathogens in a sample. The two sub-systems are: (1) a mixed antibody immunosensor based on molecular biowires and (2) a multi-channel potentiostat for measuring conductance across the immunosensor. The immunosensor operates by converting binding events bet...

A neurochemical sensor system is being developed to spatially sense and process neurotransmitters. This paper reports the design and VLSI implementation of a multichannel potentiostat that interfaces to a nitric-oxide (NO) sensor array. Picoampere to microampere input currents are range-normalized with programmable gain, and digitized by a bank of current-mode delta-sigma analog-to-digital (A/D...

Multiple sensor electrodes, a supplementary electrode, a reference electrode, and signal-processing circuits were integrated on a single chip to develop a chip-shaped electrochemical sensing system. L-lactate and glucose were measured using on-chip working electrodes modified by polyion complex to immobilize lactate oxidase and glucose oxidase, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were...

A potentiostat is an essential piece of analytical equipment for studying electrochemical devices and reactions. As the design evolve applications systems with multiple working electrodes have become more common. These drive a need low-cost multi-channel systems. We developed portable scalable system modular that can support 8 to 64 channels at cost as low \$8 per channel. This replace function...
