Development of microfluidic LED sensor platform

초록

We developed the microfluidic light emitting diode (LED) sensor for methanol detection. The linear gradient-generating microfluidic device consists of two inlet and four outlet microchannels. The concentration gradients of methanol were stably generated in the microfluidic platform in a temporal and spatial manner. The methanol harvested from microfluidic platforms was analyzed by measuring electrical conductivity, showing that currents were decreased with the methanol content. The methanol in the microfluidic device was also observed by LED sensor. Therefore, this microfluidic LED device could be a powerful platform for methanol sensor applications.
