A Charge Sensitive Pre-Amplifier for Smart Point-of-Care Devices Employing Polymer-Based Lab-on-a-Chip.

With increasing emphasis on implantable and portable medical devices, low-power, small-chip-area sensor readout systems realized in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms are gaining more and more importance. The main building blocks of the LOC system include a front-end transducer that generates an electrical signal in response to the presence of an analyte of interest, signal processing electronics to pr...
