<BLOCKQUOTE class="style13"><span class="style15"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>Interdigitated Microsensor Electrodes (IMEs) are
inert, array microelectrodes formed from patterned conductors on
an insulating substrate chip. They are designed for the
simultaneous interrogation of the electrical, electrochemical,
and optical properties of thin polymeric films and coatings, for
applications in microelectrochemistry, for
electrical/electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and for
chemical and biological sensor development.</span></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>Microfabricated from magnetron sputter-deposited gold
, e-gun vapor-deposited platinum, or conductive indium tin oxide
(ITO), these devices are supplied in three configurations or
designs; Monolith (M), Combined Differential (CD) and Full
Differential (FD), and as packaged (with attached leadwires and
encapsulated) or as un-packaged die.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>IME chips of gold, platinum or ITO are available with
5 microns, 10 microns, 15 microns, or 20 microns line and space
dimensions. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>In research and product development, these devices are
widely used for conductimetric, chemoresistive chemical and
biological sensors using electrically conducting
(electroconductive) polymers, for impedance sensors based on
Langmuir-Blodgett thin films, for studying environmental effects
on polymer thin films, and in modern micro-electrochemistry.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>Investigate the chemoresistive responses of
transducer-active, polymeric films in the same electrode
configuration, the same test environment, and on the same sample
film. Develop these devices into products where the application
requires a compact, durable and versatile chemical or biological
chemoresistive or electroanalytical sensor of low cost.</BLOCKQUOTE>

Applications of IMEs</H3>
<P class="style12">Applications of IMEs in
research and product development include:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>As conductimetric chemical sensors and biosensors
based on electroactive polymers. Such devices exploit the very
large change in electrical impedance that accompanies
oxidation/reduction of these polymer films. Films are conferred
with chemical and biological specificity through the use of
inorganic catalysts, organic binding compounds, and natural
biorecognition agents such as enzymes, antibodies and DNA. </BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>For the study of electrical and electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy of organic thin films and coatings.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>As a capacitance probe during the deposition or cure
of an organic thin film or polymer e.g. based on
Langmuir-Blodgett thin film deposition or cure of an epoxy.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>In modern microelectrochemistry -- as generator and
collector electrodes in electrochemical amplification or in the
performance of electroanalysis in high impedance environments.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>In conductimetry studies. To determine the conductance
of low conductivity media and in conductimetric titrations.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12"><B><FONT COLOR="#00af00">Ø
</FONT></B>In coatings research and development. For example, to
study the transport of water into and through a coating or to
study the physical aging of the polymer upon environmental
exposure or accelerated aging.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE class="style12">Interdigitated
Microsensor Electrode (IME<SUP>TM</SUP>) is the tradename for a
family of devices developed by ABTECH. Also called interdigitated
arrays (IDAs), these devices are microfabricated (using
microelectronics fabrication techniques) to form patterns of
conductors deposited on an insulating substrate chip.</BLOCKQUOTE>
