SSCS May Technical Webinar
Analog Interface Circuits for Electro-Chemical and Molecular Sensing
Virtual Webinar presented by Carolina Mora Lopez
Join us on Friday, May 24th at 10 AM ET
Accurate measurement of certain chemicals and biological substances is essential for health care and biomanufacturing. Electrochemical sensing methods are particularly useful for this purpose because they are cost-effective, can be made very small, and provide real-time data. Technologies such as pH and ion-sensitive sensors that are integrated into standard CMOS platforms (the technology used for constructing integrated circuits) have shown to be effective. For instance, large arrays of Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistors (ISFET) have been instrumental in DNA sequencing. Looking ahead to advanced DNA sequencing and protein studies, innovative techniques involving nanopores are being developed for efficient, high-throughput sensing of molecules. This presentation will explore the basic principles of electrochemical sensing, with a special focus on the design of the analog circuits involved. It will provide an overview of the latest circuit design methods used in ISFET-based sensors and will conclude by discussing specific challenges in designing circuits for nanopore-based molecular sensing.
