Innovative Designs for Sample Distribution

A critical aspect of utilizing SPEs is ensuring that samples are evenly distributed across the sensors. In this context, we present three innovative designs featuring three SPEs arranged in parallel. These designs aim to facilitate uniform sample distribution, enhancing the reliability and accuracy of electroanalytical measurements.

Video Demonstrations of Sample Introduction

In the accompanying video demonstrations, engineers introduce a sample, dyed blue for better visibility, to each design. The sample spreads through the microfluidic chambers above the electrodes via capillary action, ensuring even distribution across the sensors.

  1. Design One:
    • The sample is applied, and capillary action begins, filling the chamber above the electrodes efficiently.
  2. Design Two:
    • Similar to the first, with slight variations in the chamber design, ensuring consistent sample distribution.
  3. Design Three:
    • Features minor differences in the chamber, maintaining the principle of even sample spread through capillary action.

Summary of the Designs

These three designs, though similar, exhibit unique chamber structures above the electrodes. They are particularly useful for those interested in microfluidics, electroanalytical assays, or biosensing, providing a reliable method for parallel analyte processing. Developed by Zimmer and Peacock (ZP), these microfluidic designs offer a robust solution for bringing samples to sensors effectively.
