Title: Validation of a fully autonomous phosphate analyser based on a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip. Author: Slater C, Cleary J, Lau KT, Snakenborg D, Corcoran B, Kutter JP, Diamond D. Journal: Water Sci Technol; 2010; 61(7):1811-8. PubMed ID: 20371940. Abstract: This work describes the design of a phosphate analyser that utilises a microfluidic lab-on-a-chip. The analyser contains all the required chemical storage, pumping and electronic components to carry out a complete phosphate assay. The system is self-calibrating and self-cleaning, thus capable of long-term operation. This was proven by a bench top calibration of the analyser using standard solutions and also by comparing the analyser's performance to a commercially available phosphate monitor installed at a waste water treatment plant. The output of the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip analyser was shown to have sensitivity and linear range equivalent to the commercially available monitor and also the ability to operate over an extended period of time.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
