  • Publication number: 20220387991
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method of manufacturing a biochemical sensor by forming a fluid conduit in a microfluidic layer, forming an electrode on an electrode layer, forming a biochemical sensor on the electrode layer, bonding the electrode layer to a first surface of the microfluidic layer, and bonding a barrier layer to a second surface of the microfluidic layer. Example implementations also include a method of electrically detecting a biochemical by contacting an electrode array to a biological surface, obtaining a biofluid at the electrode array from the biological surface, obtaining a response current associated with the biofluid at the electrode array, and generating a quantitative biochemical response based at least partially on the response current. Example implementations further include applying a current to the biological surface. Example implementations further include filtering electrical interference at the electrode array.

  • Publication number: 20210106260
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method of manufacturing a biochemical sensor by forming a fluid region in a microfluidic layer, forming a reference electrode on a planar surface of an electrode layer, forming a biochemical sensor electrode on the planar surface, forming a selective membrane on the biochemical sensor electrode, forming an enzymatic material including a biochemical sensing material on the selective membrane, and bonding the electrode layer to the microfluidic layer. Example implementations also include a device with a reference electrode disposed on a planar surface of an electrode layer, a biochemical sensor electrode disposed on the planar surface, a selective membrane disposed on the biochemical sensor electrode and impermeable to at least one biochemical interferent, and an enzymatic layer disposed on the selective membrane and electrically responsive to a biochemical.
