High sensitive optical microelectronics sensors for the control or pollutants

Abstract

The determination of organic contaminants is done, nowadays, mostly by laboratory-based analytical techniques. This analytical methodology involves multistep time-consuming preparation procedures together with expensive and sophisticated techniques, that even leave unsolved problems (i.e.

polar and non- volatile degradation compounds).

Although the development of immunochemical kits, a few years ago, improved the performance of the result in the environment control, there is still a clear requirement for the development of sensors of small size, reliable, sensitive and selective, which can be operated in-situ and on-line and can be produced by a low cost technology.
