Optimization and miniaturization of the HTM sensors by using the transient plane source technique

Abstract

The transient plane source technique was used to achieve the miniaturisation and optimisation of the HTM sensors. Different designs and substrates have been tested to optimise the thermal conductivity, diffusivity and distribution. The efficiency of the planar heaters as a platform for biosensors were tested with milk, containing varying amounts of fat content. The transient plane source technique can be the first step towards a ready-to-market product based on HTM.
