Abstract:
1. A sensor device comprising an electrode system and a microfluidic platform, wherein the electrode system comprises at least one working electrode comprising an array of aligned, linear nano-wires; and at least one counter electrode, wherein the aligned, linear nano-wires have at least one binding agent coupled thereto, wherein the binding agent exhibits binding affinity for a target molecule, wherein the microfluidic platform comprises at least one solid support having a surface, and having at least one fluid passage and having at least one sample inlet, wherein the array of aligned, linear nano-wires projects from the surface of the at least one solid support wherein the array of nanowires is aligned to bridge a space between two conductive assembly lines that are deposited on the surface of the at least one solid support, and wherein the inlet is in fluid communication with the working electrode.
