Abstract:
To assure food quality and safety, the development of simple, high performance and cost effective analytical devices such as lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is vital. We presented mathematical models for designing electrokientically driven LOC system and validated with double enzyme glucose assay. Optimized operating conditions are used to analyze glucose in real sample. Thus, the results agree well with standard microplate assay. The model is generic and used to develop a multi-analyte niicrofluidics device that quantifies glucose and fructose from die same sample.
