Definitions
- the invention relates to a flow analysis cell with a planar layer sensor, which comprises a cell volume that is in contact with the layer sensor and a feed line to this cell volume and the sensor and a discharge line for the throughput of a fluid medium to be analyzed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a layer sensor for such a flow analysis cell.
- Flow analysis cells provided with layer sensors in particular with thin-film electrodes, are known and are used today as standard, for example in gas chromatography or HPLC detectors.
- Layer sensors are often particularly well suited for miniaturization and are therefore suitable for use in miniaturized analysis systems (e.g. so-called
- a detector is referred to here as a unit consisting of the actual analysis cell with the sensor and an electronic measuring unit, for example a potentiostat and measuring amplifier.
- an electronic measuring unit for example a potentiostat and measuring amplifier.
- Thin-film sensors have layer thicknesses in the nanometer to micrometer range. Furthermore, thick-film sensors with layer thicknesses in the micrometer range are also used for certain purposes.
- Printed 3-electrode geometries are standard today for electrochemical thin-film cells, in which the working electrode, reference electrode and auxiliary electrode are printed in thin layers on a carrier in a wide variety of geometries and provided with contacts.
- the thin-film or thick-film electrode geometry can also be produced in other ways, for which various processes are available today.
- the analysis or measuring cell also referred to as a thin-film cell, comprises a cell volume formed on the electrode side of the carrier above the electrode for receiving a fluid medium to be analyzed, i.e. in the HPLC of a liquid or the GC a gas, and a feed and a discharge for the throughput of this medium, so that the cell is designed as a flow cell.
- the cell volumes today are generally between less than one and several microliters. Cell volumes in the nanoliter range are possible today.
- the medium to be analyzed or the mobile phase is fed in an oblique beam to the thin layer and discharged again in the opposite direction. Another possibility is to feed the medium to be examined as punctually and vertically as possible to the electrode and to guide it away laterally from the latter.
- the object of the invention is to design a flow-through analysis cell of the type mentioned at the outset and a corresponding layer sensor in such a way that high sensitivity with good resolution is achieved even with a small cell volume and that in particular bubbles form due to the separation of gases from the liquid to be examined the electrodes or the sensor in general is avoided.
- the invention provides for a flow-through analysis cell with a planar sensor, which comprises a cell volume in contact with the sensor and a feed line to this cell volume and the sensor and a discharge line for the throughput of a fluid medium to be analyzed that the sensor has at least one defined passage for the fluid to be analyzed transversely to the sensor layer, the supply and discharge lines being on opposite sides of the layer.
- the associated layer sensor for the flow analysis cell according to the invention is accordingly characterized in that the sensor has at least one defined passage for the passage of a fluid to be analyzed across the sensor layer.
- a "defined passage” in the sense of the terminology used in this application is an opening adapted to the cell geometry, which forms a short channel across the layer through the sensor layer and possibly through an underlying support.
- the fluid medium to be analyzed is "discharged to the rear through the electrode". Because of the small thickness of a layer sensor, there are short contact times and therefore good resolution. The fluid medium can be pressed or sucked through the cell, which also gives rise to technical variations that are not possible with other cell geometries. The amount of yourself gas bubbles forming on the layer sensor are significantly reduced. The new geometry also makes it possible to keep the active cell volume of the flow cell much smaller and to largely avoid dead volumes.
- the cell volume can be adapted to the type of measurement to be carried out.
- the cell volume lying above the sensor which enables contact between the fluid medium and the sensor, can be approximately cylindrical with the cylinder axis perpendicular to the sensor layer, or it can have an approximately conical geometry, the cone base bordering the sensitive surface of the layer sensor and the Cone tip opens into the feeder.
- cell volumes of different sizes larger and smaller, in general in the range from a few nanoliters to approximately 50 microliters, can be set.
- a collection volume can also be arranged directly behind the sensor, which serves as a buffer volume for the fluid medium.
- the measurement can be multiplied by using several leads and leads and several electrodes in the form of several parallel or series measurements.
- the flow-through analysis cell can furthermore advantageously be arranged integrally in a sensor that combines all the components of the cell.
- the sensor comprises connections for the supply and discharge of the medium to be analyzed and for the discharge of the signals obtained with the sensor to a detection unit.
- the transducer also includes means for tapping signals emanating from the sensor, which are preferably passed on to a connector as a connection and can be removed there using conventional connecting means, and means for releasably fastening the sensor in a position in contact with the cell volume.
- the transducer can consist of at least 2 parts which are detachably connected, between which the sensor arranged or held or clamped in a positive connection.
- the 2 detachably connected parts can advantageously be connected with a joint or a clamp, so that the at least 2-part pick-up can be opened.
- the sensor can also be permanently integrated in a unit, so that it is not interchangeable but is permanently connected to the analysis unit, for example the microsystem. For example, it can be completely welded all around, for example between foils.
- the transducer can be made of metal or plastic or another suitable material such as Ceramics exist.
- the entire cell geometry with cell volume, possibly additional collection volume arranged behind the sensor, feed lines, discharge lines, flow and return connections is integrally formed in this transducer, i.e. e.g. milled out of the sensor material, or combined in an exchangeable fluidic part arranged in the sensor.
- the layer sensor is not interchangeable but in a miniaturized analysis system ("microsystem”) e.g. in a so-called
- “lab-on-a-chip” system is integrated.
- the sensor can, for example, be welded within a microsystem, as stated above.
- "Lab-on-a-chip” is the term for miniaturized analysis systems, often also referred to as ⁇ TAS - micro total analysis systems. Due to the advances in microtechnology and the progressive integration of microelectronic circuits, there will be complete analytical stations in the smallest space in the near future, for example in the size of stamps.
- These "laboratories” on the chip can be produced using the mass production processes from the semiconductor, plastics and printing industries and are therefore ideally suited as single-use systems in the mass markets of life science (health, nutrition, environment) to improve our quality of life.
- the layer sensor can therefore be integrated in an analysis station combined as a unit, which also contains other components, for example a pump for conveying the liquids to be examined, and channels in which the liquid flows, is cleaned or is chemically converted.
- the layer sensor according to the invention is therefore preferably permanently integrated into the flow channel system (for example printed on a plastic rope which at the same time contains the channel).
- the layer sensor itself which according to the invention has at least one defined passage for the passage of a fluid medium to be analyzed across the layer, can consist of at least one electrode.
- the sensor preferably comprises a multi-electrode geometry printed on a carrier, generally with a working electrode, reference electrode and auxiliary electrode, at least one of the electrodes then having at least one defined passage transverse to the layer.
- the actual sensitive layer i.e. the thin, conductive electrode layer printed on the support can be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the passages, directly adjoining them, reaching into them or leading through them, so that the passages or passages are in each case effectively transverse to the electrode, ie the sensor layer.
- the working electrode can be arranged in front of the carrier in the direction of flow and the reference and auxiliary electrodes can be arranged behind the carrier in the direction of flow.
- the layer sensor is preferably a thin layer sensor.
- the sensor can also be a biosensor, which preferably comprises a thin layer fixed on a carrier.
- This thin layer can consist, for example, of platinum, gold or graphite be coated with enzymes or other biomaterials such as antibodies.
- the sensor can generally be a biosensor or a chemical sensor, e.g. an ion-selective electrode, a pH electrode or another electrode. Electrochemical measurements can be carried out as usual, for example potentiometrically, amperometrically or polarographically.
- At least one passage is provided in the sensor or the electrode.
- a plurality of passages in different geometries can also be arranged, it being possible for the passages to be arranged in one electrode, for example the working electrode, or one or more passages in different electrodes when using a plurality of electrodes.
- the passages can be in the sensitive layer itself or in the immediate vicinity, i.e. directly adjacent to the layer on the same level, e.g. be arranged in the carrier.
- the sensitive coating can thus be arranged directly next to the passages arranged transversely to the overall sensor layer, adjacent to it, extending into it or leading through it.
- the passages are preferably round and of the same diameter over the layer thickness. However, the passages can also be conical across the layer or in another suitable geometry.

- the flow side with the feed line 12 and the return side with the discharge line 16 are arranged in 2 separate and detachably connected parts of the sensor, between which the sensor 20 is located.
- the sensor 20 comprises a carrier with a 3-electrode geometry 22, printed on one side, of the working electrode, auxiliary electrode and reference electrode.
- a cell volume 30 is formed above these electrodes and serves to receive the fluid medium flowing in from the feed line 12 and to distribute this medium over the electrode surface.
- the senor 20 is provided with 4 passages 24 through which the fluid medium flows into a collecting volume 32 located behind the sensor and is carried away from the cell through the discharge line 16.
- the volumes 30 and 32 are against the replaceable sensor 20 sealed by O-rings 40 and 42.
- the cell geometry shown enables a flow course in the flow-through cell that is free from reversals of direction and is therefore low in disturbing turbulence. The fluid can be pushed or drawn through the cell. Bubbles in the electrode area 22 can be avoided.
- FIG. 2 shows various 3-electrode geometries, each with a plurality of passages 24 in a different arrangement, namely 1) with 4 passages 24 arranged uniformly around the circumference of a circular working electrode 50 in the carrier, the working electrode 50 having a further passage 24 centrally and is surrounded concentrically by annular auxiliary and reference electrodes (52, 54); 2) with 4 passages 24 at the corner points and a central passage 24 with a geometry with a square circumference; and 3) with 5 passages 24 arranged in the carrier adjacent to the extensions of two interdigitated electrodes (52; 54).
- These geometries are to be understood as examples; numerous other geometries are conceivable.
- the passages 24 are partly immediately adjacent to the printed electrode thin layers in the carrier and partly in the electrode thin layer.
- FIG. 3 shows different geometries in relation to the passages 24 in the case of a layer sensor 20, which consists of a carrier and a sensitive coating 22.

- FIG. 4 shows a transducer, designated as a whole by 100, consisting of two parts (110; 120), which extend over the bores 112 and 114 are bracketed.
- the actual flow cell 10 has the geometry shown in FIG. 1, the same reference numerals denoting the same components.
- the fluidic part 130 is inserted into the receiver 100 as a block comprising the flow-side components of the cell 10, so that different cell volumes can be used variably (by exchange).
- Contacts located on the sensor 20 are tapped apart from the interface to the sensor 20 in such a way that the signals which occur are derived and can be removed from the outside of the sensor via a connector 140.
- FIG. 5 shows 4 different fluidic parts 130, as can be used in the sensor shown in FIG. 4.
