Laboratory of Biosensors - Faculty of Chemistry, WUT
Lab. 10, Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology
Laboratory of Biosensors is a part of Department of Microbioanalytics, Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology. Its scientific investigations are focused on the development of biosensors and micro-analytical systems for bioanalysis.
Research profile
- Ion-selective membranes: new ionophores for hydrophilic anions, novel polymeric matrices compatible with transducers
- Miniaturization of transducers based on silicon technology for electrochemical (bio)sensors
- Recognition layers for biosensing based on self-assembled aptamers/ oligonucleotides or immobilized enzymes
- Application of FIA systems for bioanalyte determination
Current research works
- Studies on enzymatic or immunologic reactions and ssDNA hybridization as a base for bioanalytes detection
- Receptors and bioreceptors for selective recognition of ions and biomolecules
- (Bio)sensors with polymeric ion-selective membranes, using potentiometric or optical transduction mode
- Design and fabrication of novel silicon-based transducers for potentiometric and voltammetric measurements
- Intermediate layers (hydrogels, conducting polymers, self-assembled monolayers) for miniaturized ion-selective electrodes
- Enzymatic flow-injection analysis systems for determination of bioanalytes
- Self-assembled monolayers of oligonucleotides as receptor layers for DNA sensors.
- Development of electroactive self-assembling monolayers
Research equipment
- Electrochemical workstations
- Quartz crystal microbalance
- Microplate reader
- Flow-injection system
- Surface plasmon resonance
Laboratory of Biosensors is located in the Chemistry Building, room. 10.
