  • Publication number: 20250208044
    Abstract: A sensor device for sensing a presence of an analyte in a biological material, comprising: a plurality of sensor elements arranged at a sensing site, the plurality of sensor elements each comprising a photoluminescent probe and a bioreceptor configured to reversibly bind an analyte, wherein the binding of the analyte is configured to induce a conformational change of the sensor element, wherein the conformational change of the sensor element is configured to induce a change in photoluminescence lifetime of the photoluminescent probe; at least one photodetector being configured to sense the photoluminescence; a readout circuitry connected to the at least one photodetector and configured to readout a time resolved signal of photoluminescence sensed by the at least one photodetector, wherein the time resolved signal represents the photoluminescence lifetime of the photoluminescent probes of the plurality of sensor elements, and thereby represents presence of the analyte.

  • Publication number: 20240077441
    Abstract: Provided is a method for liquid impedance measurement using a four-electrode device comprising an electrode structure. The method (100) comprises applying a sinusoidal voltage signal across a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode of said electrode structure and performing current and voltage measurements thereof. The method further comprises applying said sinusoidal voltage signal across a reference impedance and performing current and voltage measurements thereof. The method further comprises calculating an outer impedance between said first outer electrode and said second outer electrode based on a subset of the measurements. The method further comprises calculating an inner impedance between said first inner electrode and said second inner electrode a subset of the measurements, wherein the inner impedance represents the liquid impedance. A four-electrode device for performing the method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10895548
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include a reference electrode for being immersed in a bulk solution. The reference electrode comprises a reservoir having reservoir walls defining a reservoir volume filled with an electrolyte; an electrode in the reservoir, in contact with the electrolyte. The reservoir of the reference electrode is closed except for the presence of at least one pore in at least one of the reservoir walls, the at least one pore being filled with electrolyte and being adapted for allowing ionic contact between the electrolyte in the reservoir and the bulk solution into which the reference electrode is to be immersed.
