20110217206 | SENSOR AND A METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A SENSOR - “Click-assembly” methods of assembling a sensor for sensing biologically-active molecules by measuring impedance changes, are disclosed, comprising supporting a bio-sensor on a carrier, the bio-sensor comprising an electronic component having at least one micro-electrode and at least one electrical contact, functionalizing the bio-sensor by physically or chemically coupling a bio-receptor molecule to each of the at least one micro-electrode, and subsequently assembling the bio-sensor with a micro-fluidic unit by means of a clamp which clamps the bio-sensor with the micro-fluidic unit, such that in use a fluid introduced into the micro-fluidic unit is able to contact the bio-receptor and is isolated from the electrical contact. The clamp may be a spring, and the method may avoid a requirement for sealing by chemical or thermal means and thereby avoid damaging the bio-receptor. Sensors which can be assembled according to such methods are also disclosed. | 09-08-2011 |
20130207206 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING AU-CU ELECTRODES, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A method of manufacturing a biosensor semiconductor device in which copper electrodes at a major surface of the device are modified to form Au—Cu alloy electrodes. Such modification is effected by depositing a gold layer over the device, and then thermally treating the device to promote interdiffusion between the gold and the electrode copper. Alloyed gold-copper is removed from the surface of the device, leaving the exposed electrodes. The electrodes are better compatible with further processing into a biosensor device than is the case with conventional copper electrodes, and the process windows are wider than for gold capped copper electrodes. A biosensor semiconductor device having Au—Cu alloy electrodes is also disclosed. | 08-15-2013 |
20140128288 | SENSOR, A SENSOR ARRAY, AND A METHOD OF OPERATING A SENSOR - A sensor device has an arrangement of plural sensors for sensing an analyte which is in at least one of liquid phase or a suspension or a gel. Each sensor includes a nano-electrode and is configured to sense the presence of a particle localized to or bound to the nano-electrode. The sensor is configured to discriminate in real-time the binding of particles to respective nano-electrodes. | 05-08-2014 |

20140323350 | ELECTRONIC LATERAL FLOW TEST ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD - A lateral test flow arrangement for a test molecule is disclosed, comprising: a test strip for transporting an analyte away from a sampling region and towards an absorbing region, the test strip having therein and remote from the sampling region, a test region for functionalization with a molecule which binds to the test molecule or to a conjugate of the test molecule; a sensing test capacitor having electrodes extending across the test strip at least partially aligned with the test region and being physically isolated therefrom; a reference test capacitor having electrodes extending across the test strip and being physically isolated therefrom; and an electronic circuit configured to measure a time-dependant capacitance difference between the sensing test capacitor and the reference test capacitor. A method for carrying out that lateral flow tests is also disclosed, as are test systems and in particular pregnancy test systems | 10-30-2014 |
