SUMMARYModelling of an interdigital sensor-based sensing system for the detection of dangerous contaminated marine biotoxin in seafood has been carried out. Three interdigital sensors having new electrode configurations have been analysed using COMSOL Multiphysics. All sensors were designed to have an equal number of electrodes with the same sensing area. Based on the maximum sensitivity, the best electrode configuration has been chosen. Experiments on raw seafood contaminated with domoic acid have been conducted using the new fabricated sensor and very good results were obtained.

The reported research work uses a real time and noninvasive method to detect progesterone hormone concentration in purified water using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (E.I.S.) technique. Planar capacitive sensor, consisting of inter-digitated microelectrodes, is designed and fabricated on silicon substrate using thin-film Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based semiconductor device fabrication technology. The sensor in conjunction with EIS is used to evaluate conductivity, permeability and dielectric properties of reproductive hormone progesterone and its concentration quantification in purified water. Impedance spectrums are obtained with various concentrations of the hormone in purified water by using an electric circuit in order to extract sample conductance. Relationship of sample conductance with progesterone concentration level is studied in this research work. The ability of E.I.S. to detect progesterone concentration is aimed to be used in dairy farming industry in order to obtain better reproductive performance of the dairy cattle.
