Abstract
This is a short summary of the authors’ recent R&D on valves, combustors, plasma sources, and pressure and temperature sensors, realized in high-temperature co-fired ceramics, and an account for the first attempt to monolithically integrate them to form a lab on a chip for sample administration, preparation and analysis, as a stage in optogalvanic spectroscopy.
Highlights
Despite being widely employed, neither lab on a chip (LoC), nor high temperature (HT), is really distinctly defined
LoC could denote just a simple cavity, accessible to the naked eye, or, more often, an elaborate system of channels and chambers, where fluids are controlled and analyzed with auxiliary apparatus, or, more seldom, a rather complicated device with a high degree of functionality containing multiple integrated, active components and feed-throughs. Extremes in both respects are aimed for by integration of separately developed components into a sophisticated device intended for on-chip sample preparation reaching nearly 1000°C, and analysis, utilizing the optogalvanic effect (OGE) [2]
This LoC is intended for a range of applications, e.g., biomedicine, earth sciences, forensic science, and, archeology, all of which benefit from accurate determination of carbon isotope ratios in samples so small and delicate that very little can be wasted on leaks and dead volumes in large instrument assemblies
