  • Cell-based biosensor array and associated methods for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 10067117
    Abstract: A cell-based biosensor array includes a base plate having a plurality of substantially transparent areas. The cell-based biosensor array also includes a flexible substrate coupled to the base plate and having disposed thereon a plurality of electrode sets, a plurality of terminal contacts, and a plurality of conductive traces. Each electrode set is disposed proximate a respective one of the substantially transparent areas, and each electrode set includes at least one electrode configured to detect an electric signal. Each terminal contact is associated with a respective one of the at least one electrode and disposed proximate a perimeter of the flexible substrate. Each conductive trace is electrically coupling a respective at least one electrode to the corresponding terminal contact. A first portion of flexible substrate including the electrode sets is disposed on a first surface of the base plate.
