Abstract
The present invention provides a method of producing an electromagnetic radiation-based sensor device. The method comprises pin printing one or more chemical sensing materials onto a substrate so as to form a sensor device.
Claims24
A method of making a detecting device, comprising:
- providing an at least translucent substrate;
- providing a holding material;
- providing a chemical sensor;
- pin printing the holding material on the substrate;
- and
- pin printing the chemical sensor onto the pin printed holding material.
3 more elements
A method of making a chemical sensor array, which comprises the steps of:
- a) providing at least one chemical sensor in a holding material;
- b) providing an at least translucent substrate;
- c) dipping at least one pin tool into the chemical sensor in the holding material;
- d) withdrawing the pin tool from the chemical sensor in the holding material;
- e) contacting the substrate with the pin tool withdrawn from the chemical sensor in the holding material;
- f) repeating steps c)-e) until the chemical sensor array is formed;
- and
- g) curing the chemical sensor array.
