Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Cellular Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Cell-based biosensors face challenges in sample preparation, maintaining biological conditions, and electronic integration for lab-free use.
  • Existing systems often require complex setups and are not easily deployable in real-world conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated system for cell-based biosensing that overcomes limitations of laboratory-based use.
  • To enable reliable monitoring of cellular electrophysiology outside of a controlled laboratory environment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a silicon-polydimethylsiloxane cell-cartridge integrating CMOS chip, temperature control, microelectrode sensors, and fluidic channels.
  • Incorporation of a portable, microcontroller-based electronics system for monitoring action potential (AP) activity.
