The group works on a range of chemical, biological and physicochemical sensor devices together with the necessary instrumentation.
A core expertise is in the development of disposable devices for industrial applications in process control and environmental monitoring.
Along with considerable experience, the group has facilities for the fabrication of batches of research prototypes, for example, using screen printing, cutter-plotting and lamination.
Appropriate sensing systems obviate the need for on-site maintenance, calibration or provision of reagents since all of the requirements can be built in at the fabrication stage of the disposable sensing element. In these cases, the end user can be confident that the measured data are reliable
