Synthetic diamond supermaterials provider Element Six has collaborated with the University of Warwick to develop an all-diamond packaging solution for electroanalytical sensing applications.
According to the company, the packaging solution consists of Element Six's Diafilm EA grade, a free-standing, boron doped synthetic diamond electrode and will transform electroanalytical sensing systems to benefit various industries.
The industries include biomedical, environmental, food, industrial process monitoring, pharmaceuticals and oil and gas.
Available in various electrode geometries encapsulated in co-planar insulating diamond, the all-diamond packaging solution packaging permits easy integration of the sensor into any electrochemical system.
The University of Warwick professor Julie Macpherson said the packaging solution enables electrochemical devices to survive in harsh environments.
"The combination of this ability to maximize durability along with the precise geometry of the co-planar electrode arrays allows the system to achieve very high sensitivities in a variety of different detection environments," Macpherson added.
