CHAPTER 2. Innovative Tools with Miniaturized Devices for Food Biosensing

We live in a new era of nano- and microtechnologies, applied in fundamental science and more and more in life sciences and industrial technologies. The review aims to reveal the progress in using miniaturized devices (biosensors, nanocomposites) for identifying foodborne patogens or chemicals, risk factors which can evidentiate the quality and safety of food products in the technological chain up to the consumer. Lab-on-a-chip concept (LOC) defines specific miniaturized devices produced our days by highly specialized companies to make fast, low price and high sensibility which reflect the presence and the quantity of specific plant, food or human tissue /blood chemical/molecular marker.

Miniaturized Devices

This paper investigates the fluid generation mechanism in a modified Continuous Inkjet Print (CIJ) method. The CIJ technique is utilized to deposit a variety of conductive nano particulate materials for building miniaturized devices that can sustain harsh environments. These include devices and structures that can sustain high temperature and humidity applications. Given the complex drop formation mechanism a CFD model is developed that is further validated using an ultrahigh speed photography experimental setup. Various input parameters such as frequency, voltage and fluid pressure can be tuned using the model for different fluid types to obtain an optimal drop formation. These findings can be useful for the fabrication of freeform miniaturized devices in 3 dimensional space.

Miniaturized Devices

The tribological properties of ultra-thin ionic liquid films (IL films) were evaluated using a Universal Micro-tribometer-2MT tester. The morphologies of the wear tracks of the films and the counterpart surfaces were examined using a JEM-1200EX scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a Kevex energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDXA) attachment. It was found that the tribological performances of IL films were closely related to the chemical characteristics of the substrate surfaces. The films of vinyl group functionalized ionic liquids on hydroxylated substrate and vinyl group modified substrate exhibited very good friction-reduction and wear-resistant properties. IL films can be a potential solution to the lubrication of miniaturized devices.
