Abstract
Techniques regarding one or more microfluidic chips with integrated electronic sensors are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can regard an apparatus that can comprise a conductive plug of a reference electrode structure, the conductive plug extending from within a microfluidic channel to within a reference fluid holding chamber that is in fluid isolation from the microfluidic channel.
Claims8
An apparatus, comprising:
- a conductive plug of a reference electrode structure, the conductive plug extending from within a microfluidic channel to within a reference fluid holding chamber that is in fluid isolation from the microfluidic channel;
- an inlet channel in fluid communication with the reference fluid holding chamber;
- and
- an air vent in fluid communication with the reference fluid holding chamber, wherein the air vent vents to an environment outside of the apparatus and is distinct from the inlet channel.
