| Abstract: | Absorbance based measurements for the detection in microfluidic channels using an optical chip with embedded waveguides shows promise for use as a monitoring tool coupled on-line to an electrochemical cell. An experimental setup was build and tested for on-line monitoring of chemical reactions taking place in a microreactor chip using the optical sensing chip. With the chip measurements were performed alternating a flow of water and ruthenium tris-bipyridine, a chemical compound with a strong molar extinction coefficient. As a result of the signal instability quantitative analysis of the data could not be performed. Though a qualitative examination shows the system is capable of detecting different concentrations in the microfluidic channel. In order to implement the optical chip in the electrochemical setup, further research is needed. |
