New Material Sensor Platform
Colorimetric Sensor Platform (CSP) : platform technology based on natural color change by diffraction in response to external stimuli
- MORPHO BUTTERFLY
- OPAL
- PEACOCK FEATHER
[ Mimicking diffraction structure exhibits natural colors ]
CSP 01
Development in two forms for multipurpose use-
film type (on substrate)
pH responsive hydrogel sensor -
sphere type (free standing)
temperature responsive hydrogel sensor
CSP 02
Application examples for non-powered self-diagnosis equipment-
Colorimetric sensor array of glucose level, pH, body temperature, and ionic strength, etc.
Each sensor operates with different principles, while being integrated on a single chip.
Porous μ–needle array film is attached underneath the sensor for body-fluid extraction.
Colorimetric data captured & processed by smart phone application.
