This capstone course for the chemical diagnostics spine of the Engineering Chemistry program applies knowledge of electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, basic electronics, and data processing to design and test an electrochemical diagnostic instrument. Students will work in teams to develop a sample pretreatment method, a microfluidic device for analyte transport, an electrochemical reaction for analyte concentration determinations, and an appropriate electrochemical cell. Instrument calibration, performance and cost analyses are also required. The development of your team's electrochemical sensor will be supported in this course through readings and instrumentation tutorials. NOT OFFERED 2025-2026 K3.5 (Lec: Yes, Lab: Yes, Tut: Yes)
