Fabrication and Application of Ion-Sensors Based on the Voltammetry of Nanocrystals Adhered to Electrode Surfaces. A significant need exists for the low cost determination of cations and anions in biologically (blood, urine), industrially (process streams) and environmentally (rivers, lakes) important fluids. In this project, skills in sensor design, scientific instrumentation, materials science, electrochemistry and analytical science provided by a consortium of scientists at Monash University ....Fabrication and Application of Ion-Sensors Based on the Voltammetry of Nanocrystals Adhered to Electrode Surfaces. A significant need exists for the low cost determination of cations and anions in biologically (blood, urine), industrially (process streams) and environmentally (rivers, lakes) important fluids. In this project, skills in sensor design, scientific instrumentation, materials science, electrochemistry and analytical science provided by a consortium of scientists at Monash University, the Victorian Institute for Chemical Sciences, Oxford Biosensors and Oxford University will be integrated to fabricate and develop applications of commercially viable ion-sensing systems. The principles to be utilised are based on novel forms of voltammetry of nanocrystals adhered to electrode surfaces.Read moreRead less

To establish and maintain a prominent position in scientific research, Australian scientists must have access to state of the art technology. The Bio21 Institute is a multidisciplinary research centre specialising in medical agricultural and environmental science and is ideally suited to house an SPR facility. SPR provides unique functional, kinetic and thermodynamic information on molecular interactions which give rise to both physiological and pathological outcomes. A detailed knowledge of molecular interactions is fundamental to the understanding of all biological systems. When placed at the Bio21 Institute, the facility will foster the development of diversified collaborations between the applicants and the wider research community.Read moreRead less
