(3) Random Sampling • As expected, increasing concentration results in decreasing resistance
Λ = Λº - (A+B Λº)c1/2 for c< 0.001 mol/L Λ = equivalent molar conductivity Λ º = equivalent molar conductivity at infinite dilution A = 60.20 B = 0.229 C = electrolyte concentration Λ = κ/ceq Ceq = c|z| • Plotting Λ against c1/2 will be linear…
IV. Conclusion • We have achieved our goal of constructing a calibration curve which will allow us to know concentration with a device of given channel width and impedance across the channel • With photolithography, we are able to construct miniaturized conductivity cells quantitatively follow the Debye-Huckel-Onsanger Equation and operate best at large interelectrode spacings • This most likely will lead to their functioning as biosensor transducers in the future
