Microchemistry- and MEMS-based Integrated Electrochemical Devices for Bioassay Applications

Abstract

Here, we present an overview of our recent research progress in development of electrochemical devices/systems for bioassays. These devices/systems are based on microchemistry and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) for sophisticated analytical and electrochemical measurements. In particular, we exploit the unique chemical reactions occurring in micrometer-size spaces and/or involving micrometer-size structures for bioassays, including cell analyses. This paper addresses five topics: probe-, chip-, large-scale-integration chip-, and dielectrophoresis-based devices, and electrodeposition of hydrogels for bioassays.
