ELECTROANALYTIC DEVICES ON PAPER: A NEW GENERATION OF DECENTRALISED AND LOW-COST ANALYSIS PLATFORMS AND TRANSDUCERS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Province of Asturias (NUTS ES120); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 166,980; EU co-financing EUR 133,584 (co-financing rate 80%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2017-12-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE PROJECT REQUESTED HAS AS ITS GENERAL OBJECTIVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYSIS DEVICES BASED ON AN ELECTROQUIMICA DETECTION FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF DETERMINATIONS OF ANALYTES OF INTEREST IN THE CLINICAL FIELD. THE BIGGEST NOVELTY IS THAT THEY WILL BE MADE ON PAPER AND THEREFORE HAVE VERY INTERESTING CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS LOW COST, EASE OF TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OR DISPOSAL, WHICH ALLOWS A DECENTRALISATION OF THE ANALYSES. IN THIS WAY, THEY CAN BE DONE IN PLACES WHERE THERE IS NO ACCESS TO LARGE INFRASTRUCTURES OR HIGH TECHNOLOGY BUT WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, THANKS TO A QUICK AND CHEAP ACCESS, BY THE END USER, TO CLINICAL INFORMATION OF INTEREST. THIS WILL MEAN A REMARKABLE CHANGE IN SOCIETY, AS IT STILL TAKES VERY LONG TIMES TO OBTAIN ANALYSIS RESULTS, WHICH ALSO HAVE A HIGH COST. with this end, ALL parametres will be optimised in the implementation of a basic PLATAFORM that incorporates a VOLT/amperometric DETECTION, MIDIENING THE CORRIENT PRODUCED IN THE OXIDACATION OR REDUCTION OF A INDICAL Molecule, WELCOME CONSTENTIAL POTENTIAL (Amperometrica) or A POTENTIAL BARRIDO (VOLTAMPEROMETRICA). THE INTEGRATION OF ELECTRODES IN THE PAPER, THE EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAPER AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROTOTYPE THAT INCLUDES THE ENTIRE ELECTROQUIMICA CELL WILL BE CONSIDERED AS BASIC STAGES. CONVENTIONAL ELECTRODES (FINE METAL AND THICK CARBON INK PELLETS) AND OTHER POSSIBILITIES SUCH AS LOW COST MATERIALS (STAPLES, CHINCHETAS) AND EVEN THE ON-SITE GENERATION OF ELECTRODIC ELEMENTS BY CELLULOSE TRANSFORMATION INTO GRAPHITE WILL BE EVALUATED, WHICH IS COMPLETELY NOVEL AND WOULD IMPLY MAXIMUM INTEGRATION SUPPORT-ELECTRODE. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRANSDUCER, POSSIBLE PRETREATMENTS WILL BE STUDIED, FOR WHICH A PLASMA EQUIPMENT IS REQUESTED, WHICH WOULD CLEAN AND ACTIVATE THE ELECTRODICA SURFACE GENERATING ACTIVE CENTERS. IN ADDITION, WE WILL WORK IN THE ELECTRODICAL NANOSTRUCTURATION [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
