Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0223134A1] Sensor arrays and sensor array systems for detecting analytes in fluids. Sensors (530) configured to generate a response upon introduction of a fluid containing one or more analytes can be located on one more surfaces/faces (540) relative to one or more fluid channels (500) in a array. Fluid channels can take the form of pores or holes in a substrate material. Fluid channels (500) can be formed between one or more substrate plates. Sensor (530) can be fabricated with substantially optimized sensor volumes to generate a response having a substantially maximized signal to noise ratio upon introduction of a fluid containing one or more target analytes. Methods of fabricating and using such sensor arrays and systems are also disclosed.
