  • Biochemical devices and their methods of manufacture
    Patent number: 6838054
    Abstract: Biochemical devices comprising a sensing surface that is at least partially covered by a nanocrystalline metal oxide semiconductor film which provides a recipient surface for immobilizing biochemical species on. The film has a mesoporous surface that gives up to a 1000 increase in biochemical species adsorption when compared to a flat surface. The biochemical devices comprising these surfaces can be optical and electrochemical biosensors and reactors for synthetic or biodegradation reactions.
