Abstract
A sensor cartridge has a cartridge substrate comprising an optical substrate for optical detection of a target moiety in a sample fluid based on frustrated totalinternal reflection and at least one electric structure. This way, optical read-out and electrical functions, e.g. read-out, are combined in a single substrate, in a simple and cheap manner. Also a method of fabricating such sensor cartridge is provided.
Claims15
A sensor cartridge having a cartridge substrate comprising an optical substrate (10) for optical detection of a target moiety in a sample fluid based on frustrated total internal reflection and at least one electric structure.
A method for fabricating a sensor cartridge, the method comprising providing at least one electrical structure on an optical substrate adapted for FTIR detection.
A method of determining target moieties in a fluid sample, the method comprising measuring an optical characteristic of the fluid sample and performing an electrical action on the fluid sample.
