Novel Sensor Design and Application for Detection of Dangerous Contaminated Marine Biotoxins

Abstract:

We have developed a novel planar interdigital sensing system: using a microcontroller and local fabricated circuits with dual supply and signal processing for data acquisition. The first prototype is called seafood inspection tool or SIT consist of a SiLab C8051F020 microcontroller, a signal processing circuit, novel planar interdigital sensor, an expansion board and dual power supply circuit. A user friendly software was also developed to make SIT easy to be used by users who has a little technical knowledge. SIT was developed to be tested by the fisherman who can do a pre-screening process of the mussels at their ranch site.Our main objective is to sense the presence of dangerous contaminated acid in mussels and other seafoods.
