SENSOR

Over the last few decades, biosensors have had a huge impact on analytical technology and have been increasingly employed for the direct, real-time and label-free detection of chemical and biological analytes. Biosensor technology is seen as a powerful alternative to conventional analytical tools, because they are highly sensitive, offer high specificity, are easy to use and enable rapid and real-time detection. The objective of the envisioned project is to make a proof-of-concept bio-sensor to detect certain chemical components in relevant aqueous solutions.

This project investigates the potential of MIP technology for the development of an on-line SENSOR-platform. Through functionalisation, the solution is adapted to specific sector-related needs, with a special focus on micropollutants with primary target molecules perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and ethinyl estradiol (EE2). The ambition is to (1) enable a reliable sensing methodology with high sensitivity and selectivity (2) robust and stable, independent of environmental factors and (3) providing an economical viable solution for numerous industrial applications.
