P-40 Numerical Simulation of Electrochemiluminescence Generation on a Screen Printed Electrode

An escalating need for emergency or point-of-care diagnostics drives the biosensor to be portable, affordable, and easy to manufacture, while still providing the reliability and sensitivity of high-end equipment. A recent NSF grant has been awarded to the development of an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) based biosensor platform utilizing mobile technologies and screen-printed electrodes to create a portable and inexpensive device. The mathematical models describing the reaction on the electrode and diffusion of analytes were developed and numerically solved in the screen-printed electrode geometry. Numerical simulation was performed to understand and verify the underlying mechanisms, determine kinetic parameters, and aid in the biosensor design application
