Abstract/Summary

We present the design, fabrication, analysis and characterisation of autonomous high accuracy and sensitivity microfluidic nutrient sensors. A stand-alone sensor platform with integrated sub-systems is demonstrated, which is portable and capable of in-situ reagent-based nutrient analysis. The system is based on a low cost optical detection method, together with an automated microfluidic delivery system that is able to detect nitrite (e.g.) with a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 14nM. The platform was operated in-situ at Southampton Dockhead for 37 hours, performing 284 measurements.
