Materials with high surface-to-volume ratios demonstrate exquisite sensitivity and detection limits in diverse sensing applications.  Integration of nanowires, nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors into sensing devices, however, presents challenges inhibiting development of products based on these materials.  To realize applications of 2D transducers in ubiquitous low-cost diagnostic devices, new fabrication approaches are required. Processes for high-rate (>106 per day) mass-production of low-cost two-dimensional electronic medical diagnostic devices with limits of detection rivalling PCR will be presented. Processing methods allow for control of binding site density and adjustable dynamic range of sensor devices.  Response times for most analytes are 2 minutes or less, and detection of multiple analytes on an array of sensors fabricated on a single flexible chip is straightforward.  A large supply of unfunctionailzed diagnostic devices manufactured in this way may be stored to be functionalized with any selective binding agent on-demand to immediately reduce the impact of future disease outbreaks.  Materials for large-scale device fabrication were selected to ensure recyclability of the devices for reduced waste stream impact in anticipation of large numbers of devices are consumed daily.

Who Should Attend

e-Talks are an online forum to learn about the latest trends in the core technical areas of the AVS. All AVS e-Talks are geared toward a general technical audience, including academic and industrial researchers, technologists, policy-makers, and the public.
