| NFYC75 | Sensor Technology, 5 ECTS-points /SENSORTEKNOLOGI/ Advancement level: C | |
| Aim: The course will give an overview of chemical sensor technology including biosensors, both sensors used in industry today and sensors still in the research laboratory. The principles of different chemical sensors, with emphasis on gas sensors will be given. 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: The course can be taken in the Physics programme, year 3 or 4. The basic physics courses in the Physics programme are required.Course organization: The course is given as a mix of lectures and supervised self studies and two full day laboratory exercises. Course content: Sensor technology: Sensor principles - chemical sensors, physical sensors, biosensors, micromachImportant bioanalytical reactions: immobilisation of enzymes, antigen-antibody reactions. Laboratory exercises: Antibody-antigen investigation on a Biacore system and tracking of bacterial growth by an electronic nose.Course literature: A. Mandelis and C. Christofides, Physics Chemistry and Technology of Solid State Gas Sensor Devices. W. Göpel, J. Hesse, J.N. Zemel, Sensors a comprehensive survey, vol.2 and 3.
