Optimization & Characterization of Interdigitated Electrodes for Microbial Growth Monitoring
Abstract:
This study optimally designed and implemented highly sensitive microscale interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) to monitor microorganisms' growth in diverse environments. Gold interdigitated electrodes (AuIDE) with 4 mm×4 mm effective sensing area and varying microscale interdigitate gaps were designed and fabricated. The electrodes were electrically characterized voltametrically. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were conducted to determine the optimal geometry by observing the impedance spectra of microelectrodes through varying pH and temperature. Furthermore, the sensors sensitivity was evaluated by measuring the impedance properties of a microscale volume of microorganism concentrations in growth media solution.
