In this paper an amperometric electrochemical detection method is demonstrated and implemented using exclusively Printed Circuit Board (PCB)-based technologies. A portable, reconfigurable, multichannel amperometric data-acquisition board has been designed and fabricated, dedicated to the measurement of current-input signals delivered by the PCB-based biosensor. The electronic read-out circuit is able to provide constant biasing voltages to the amperometric sensor, measure in real-time the sensor's output currents, digitise them using high-accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) and send the binary data to the user either through a USB2.0 interface or via an on-board TFT touch-screen. In order to validate the robustness and accuracy of the combined system, proof-of-concept amperometric experiments have taken place using our custom-made PCB-based system and standard electrochemical substrates. The results obtained have been cross-validated by means of standard colorimetric analysis and their differences have been highlighted and analyzed.
