Screen Printed Electrode
New highly sensitive flexible screen printed electrode (SPE) designed and developed for possible applications in chemical, biological and environmental species detection. The electrodes were screen-printed on a flexible polyester film using conducting inks.
Salient Features
-
The electrode is developed using a flexible polyester film substrate support material to make a highly sensitive electromechanical sensor.
-
It is an indigenously developed, easy to fabricate, low cost electrode in comparison to commercially available expensive imported electrode.
-
Experimental results are reliable and stable
-
Wide scope of contribution to the other relevant supported projects like “MEMS based immune sensor for the determination of antigen”.
