Follow On: A microelectrode array sensor for measuring the concentrations of respiratory gases & inhalational anaesthetic agents

该项目的目的是开发一种廉价的概念验证膜覆盖的多微电极阵列传感器，同时测量气体混合物中氧气和二氧化碳的浓度，用于工业，医学和生理学。通过简单地改变膜材料，这种简单的传感器还可以测量吸入麻醉剂的浓度，以及从传统麻醉机输送给患者的气体混合物中维持生命的氧气浓度。这项新的传感器工作建立在由EPSRC资助的为期3年的项目资助中获得的良好研究基础之上。在为期12个月的项目期间，概念传感器设计的验证将展示给英国各商业传感器制造商。

The purpose of this project is to develop an inexpensive proof of concept membrane-covered multimicroelectrode array sensor to measure simultaneously the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide in gas mixtures, for use in industry, medicine and physiology. With a simple change of membrane material, this simple sensor will also measure the concentration of inhalational anaesthetic agents, as well as the life-support oxygen concentration, in gas mixtures delivered to patients from conventional anaesthetic machines. This new sensor work builds on a sound foundation of research gained during a 3-year project grant funded by the EPSRC. The proof of concept sensor design will be show-cased and demonstrated to various UK commercial sensor manufacturers during the project 12month period.
