Abstract

Microanalytical systems based on a microfluidics/electrochemical detection scheme were developed. Individual modules, such as microfabricated piezoelectrically actuated pumps and a microelectrochemical cell were integrated onto portable platforms. This allows rapid change-out and repair of individual components by incorporating `plug and play' concepts now standard in PC's. Two different integration schemes were used for construction of the microanalytical systems based on microfluidics/electrochemical detection. In first scheme, all individual modules were integrated in the surface of the standard microfluidic platform based on a plug-and-play design. Microelectrochemical flow cell which integrated three electrodes based on a wall-jet design was fabricated on polymer substrate. The microelectrochemical flow cell was then plugged directly into the microfluidic platform. Another integration scheme was based on a multilayer lamination method utilizing stacking modules with different functionality to achieve a compact microanalytical device. Application of the microanalytical system for detection of lead in river water and saliva samples using stripping voltammetry is described.
