Flow Sensor Based on Coulometric Interrogation of a Graphene Microelectrode

­

­PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES

•Self-powered, high-performance biofluid-flow interrogation devices (e.g., minimally-invasive implantable blood flow monitor, miniaturized flow sensor, transparent flow sensor)

PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

• •Significantly improved sensitivity (two-orders-of-magnitude improvement) paves ways for life phenomena that are yet to be studied in metabolomics, retinal hemorheology, and neuroscience
• •​​​​​​​Long-term stability  (over 6 months demonstrated)

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

This invention demonstrates a nanodevice that employs a single microelectrode of monolayer graphene to monitor biofluid-flow in real time at high resolution and stability.
