An electrochemical dopamine sensor with CMOS detection circuit

[[abstract]]This paper presents the use of interdigitated microelectrodes as the platform for electrochemical sensing of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Gold electrodes with gaps ranging between 3 μm to 7 μm are fabricated by the lift-off technique. The reduction and oxidation potentials for dopamine are determined by voltammetry using the fabricated microelectrodes. A CMOS sensing circuit is used to amplify the electrochemical current produced by the working electrodes. Experimental result shows that for a dopamine concentration of 10 μM, the measured current value is 11 pA.[[fileno]]2030176030003[[department]]電機工程學
