Flow Sensor Based on Coulometric Interrogation of a Graphene Microelectrode

LEAD INVENTOR:
Jinglei Ping,Ph.D.
 
PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES

    • Self-powered, high-performance biofluid-flow interrogation devices (e.g., minimally-invasive implantable blood flow monitor, miniaturized flow sensor, transparent flow sensor)

 
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

  •  
  • Significantly improved sensitivity (two-orders-of-magnitude improvement) paves ways for life phenomena that are yet to be studied in metabolomics, retinal hemorheology, and neuroscience
  • Long-term stability  (over 6 months demonstrated)

 
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
This invention demonstrates a nanodevice that employs a single microelectrode of monolayer graphene to monitor biofluid-flow in real time at high resolution and stability

ABOUT THE INVENTOR
Prof. Jinglei Ping is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research interest includes biosensing devices based on 2D materials and translation of 2D materials into point-of-care diagnostics, drug testing, and healthcare applications.
