| Aim: The course will give an overview of chemical sensor technologies including biosensors, both sensors used in industry in sensor systems (electronic noses) and sensor still in the research laboratory. The principles of different chemical sensors, with emphasis on gas sensors will be given. The course will focus on detection mechanisms for chemical sensors. The special issues of biosensors are described. The course also gives a short introduction to the processing of sensors, including micromachining. The course contains two laboratory exercises. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) The course can be taken in the Physics programme, year 3 or 4. The basic physics courses in the Physics programme (or comparable courses) are required. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course is given as a mix of lectures and supervised self studies, reported in written reports and seminars, and two full day laboratory exercises (2x5 h). |
|||
| Course contents: Sensor technology: Detection mechanisms and sensor principles of chemical sensors and biosensors. Process technology and micromachining. Important biosensor principles: immobilisation of enzymes, antigen - antibody reactions. Laboratory exercises: 1.Antibody - antigen investigation on a Biacore system. 2. Testing of the gas response of different sensors which demonstrates the influence of sensor material and operation temperature on the selectivity of the sensor. Demonstration of sensor systems, so called electronic noses. |
|||
| Course literature: Review papers and book chapters are distributed during the course. Individual search of sensor papers in data bases. |
|||
| Examination: | |||
| Two laboratory works Written reports Optional oral examination for higher grade |
1 p 4 p 0 p |
||
| The written reports and the oral presentations only give U / 3 / 4. An oral exam (not mandatory) may increase the grade one step | |||
