Abstract: This paper presents the development of microcontroller based potentiometric transduction circuit for a continuous fluid level sensor. The purpose system involved the integration between hardware and software subsystem. For hardware subsystem, the design of potentiometric circuit was tested with theoretical computation, simulation on Proteus VSM software and breadboard circuit. This finding was then used to develop interface for the analog-to-digital converter. For software subsystem, the water level indicator system has been developed using ATMEGA2560 by converting the output from potentiometric circuit into water level with a look-up table. It computes the digital data conversion into desired reading and displays data through the second hardware subsystem which is liquid crystal display. A potentiometric indicator for a continuous fluid level sensor to detect level of water ponding on the flat roof was developed. It was comprised of a potentiometric transduction stage and follower stage. From the experiment, it was shown that the potentiometric circuit designed was able to report changes in the water in a different level. The integration of the continuous fluid level sensor with the potentiometric indicator system will have a significant impact on the practice of sensor integration.

Abstract: In this paper, charge-modulated field effect transistor based detection circuit is presented for the purpose of electrical detection of DNA hybridization. The readout circuit consists of a drain follower and a compensated differential amplifier. It is able to achieve a voltage gain of 56.94 dB in the frequency range up to 6.79 kHz using 0.18μm Silterra CMOS process. The compensation technique is used in the detection circuit in order to improve the phase margin to 52.66^o. The proposed potentiometric biosensor eliminates the need for a reference electrode which can offer great potential for miniaturized sensor array that would enable a massive parallel detection of DNA assay.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop the anodized titanium oxide nanotubes (ATONs) as a pH electrode with amperometric and potentiometric method. Titanium oxide nanotubes film was produced on pure titanium piece by titanium anodization at room temperature. The best one ATONs electrode has a linear pH response approximately 53 mV/pH with potentiometric method and 13 A/pH with amperometric method in the concentration range between pH 2 and 12.
