Abstract:
An electro-chemical analysis device, comprising:a means for holding a sample undergoing analyzation; at least one thermal sensor for sensing the temperature of the sample during analyzation and providing sensed temperature data; at least one biosensor, formed proximate the thermal sensor and in thermal contact with the sample, comprising an array of biological probes each of the biological probes characterized as including an electronically active electrode coated with a specific DNA probe; a means for providing radiation to the sample, wherein the at least one thermal sensor, the at least one biosensor, and the means for providing heat are three-dimensionally integrated in a single substrate platform; electronics for transforming the sensed temperature data into an output measurement signal, the electronics formed as part of a feedback circuit, thereby providing for the maintenance of a preferred temperature of the sample.
