A flow system was developed for the precise determination of Ca 2þ based on the electrolytic ion transfer at the aqueous j 1,2-dichloroethane, W j DCE, interface. N,N,N',N'-tetraoctyl-1,3-oxapentanediamide was added to DCE to facilitate the transfer of Ca
The monitoring of microvolt‐level biosignals such as electroencephalograms requires the application of low‐noise signal amplifier circuits, which, for single‐use cases, must be fabricated for disposability using low‐cost manufacturing techniques. One promising solution for the production of low‐cost amplifier circuits for digital biosensing is the emerging technology of low‐noise printed circuits. Here, a low‐noise‐electrode printing process for organic transistors that can carry out precision measurement of brain activity using a low‐noise organic amplifier is proposed. In the transistor fabrication process, Ag electrodes are processed via flat stamp parallel printing, and fine‐process optimization to minimize the charge‐trapping effect enables a three‐order reduction in transistor noise. The low‐noise transistors are used to produce an organic pseudo‐complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor amplifier with a small noise level of 2.2 µVp‐p at 10 Hz, which enables precision brain wave monitoring in a close correlation with signals obtained using a commercialized measurement system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
