An electric field array microsystem for Lab-on-chip and biomedical analysis

摘要

This paper presents a new electric field array microsystem. The microsystem is fully automated, and it can be used in biomedical applications. The microsystem contains two main parts which are: 1) A CMOS Integrated Circuit (IC) which is based on 0.18 µm technology and includes the sensing and actuation parts, 2) a control circuit board which contains the amplification and conditioning parts. The microsystem is tested in biomedical environment and the experimental results show that the automated microsystem is a suitable candidate for biomedical applications such as: noninvasive biological cell detection, cancer detection and antibody selection.
