Equipment for Integration and Packaging of Biomedical and Biosensing Systems

用于诊断和治疗的生物医学和生物传感设备和系统是高度多学科的，集成了微电子学、光子学、微流体学、微器件和纳米/生物材料。所要求的设备将能够在各种生物医学和生物传感项目中进行开发、集成和包装，包括葡萄糖生物传感、DNA分析、水监测、细菌筛选和创伤受害者肌肉完整性监测，这些项目正在由申请人作为合作研究进行。所要求的设备包括两台喷墨打印机（一台用于沉积可植入装置的生物相容性聚合物涂层，另一台用于打印生物受体和化学传感薄膜）、一个微电子探针站和一台在可见光和近红外区域工作的光谱仪。先进的喷墨打印系统将为麦吉尔大学和蒙特利尔地区其他大学的学生、合作者和其他研究人员提供一个急需的平台，用于教育可植入微传感器的生物相容性包装的各个方面，以及生物受体和化学传感膜在各种基材上的3D空间沉积。

Biomedical and biosensing devices and systems used for diagnostics and therapy are highly multidisciplinary integrating microelectronics, photonics, microfluidics, microdevices, and nano-/bio- materials. The requested equipment will enable the development, integration, and packaging aspects in various biomedical and biosensing projects including glucose biosensing, DNA analysis, water monitoring, bacteria screening, and muscular integrity monitoring for trauma victims which are being undertaken by the applicants as collaborative research. The requested equipment consists of two ink-jet printers (one for deposition of biocompatible polymer coatings for implantable devices and another for printing of biological receptors and chemical sensing films), a microelectronic probe-station, and a spectrometer to operate in visible and near infrared regions. The advanced ink-jet printing systems will constitute a critically needed platform for educating students of the co-applicants, collaborators and other researchers at McGill and at other universities around the Montreal area on the varied facets of biocompatible packaging of implantable microsensors and 3D spatial deposition of biological receptors and chemical sensing films on various substrates.
