In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources, and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved arc

An electron transfer mediator, 8-dimethylamino-2,3-benzophenoxazine (Meldola Blue), dissolved in the carrier solution in a flow-injection system, was found to reduce the oxidation potential for hydrogen peroxide from 600-1200 mV without mediator to - 100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl with the mediator present. The very low background current of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) at this potential makes it possibl

An integrated thermal biosensor array was designed and fabricated for the simultaneous determination of glucose, urea and penicillin. The sensor contains six thin-film thermistors which were fabricated on quartz chip by micromachining and semiconductor technology. This sensor allows the determination of three different analytes nearly simultaneously by serially partitioning a single microchan

A flow injection thermal microbiosensor was designed for the simultaneous determination of multiple analytes. The biosensor consisted of five thin-film thermistors which were located along a single microchannel. The device was fabricated on a quartz chip by micromachining. The feasibility of employing this system for the detection of two independent enzyme reactions was demonstrated using two diff

A miniaturized thermal flow injection analysis biosensor has been coupled with a microdialysis probe for continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring. Thermal biosensors are based on the principle of measuring the heat evolved during enzyme catalysed reactions. The system presented here consists of a miniaturized thermal biosensor with a small column containing coimmibolized glucose oxidase and

A miniaturized flow-injected thermal biosensor was developed for the determination of urea and L-lactate in undiluted blood in 1-μL samples. The sensor employed a small enzyme column constructed of stainless steel tubing and microbead thermistors. Urease and lactate oxidase/catalase were separately immobilized onto controlled-pore glass beads, which, in turn, were charged into the enzyme column. W

A microbiosensor based on an integrated thermopile was designed and fabricated on a quartz chip. The thermopile, which was manufactured by doping boron in polysilicon together with aluminium, provided a potential output of ca. 2 mV K. A silicone rubber membrane was used to form and seal the microchannel. The total column volume was 20 μl. Glucose oxidase and catalase were co-immobilized on spheric
