On this page we hae linked to the three items that constitute the starter kit for phosphate sensing.
Video Description:
Welcome to this quick video on phosphate sensors!
In this video, we’ll introduce you to phosphate sensors, their form factor, and how to get started with them. We provide a starter kit that includes:
✅ A single-purpose biosensor circuit (linked below)
✅ Test solutions for calibration
✅ The phosphate sensors themselves
This kit is designed to help you get reliable initial results before expanding into your own applications.
Key Points Covered:
📊 Performance & Calibration – We demonstrate how the sensor responds to different phosphate concentrations (from 100 mM down to 0.1 mM). The signal vs. time plot (available as a PDF on our web store) shows real-world performance.
🔌 Why Use Our Electronics? – Some users try building their own circuits and encounter issues. We recommend starting with our proven setup to ensure functionality before customizing.
🔬 Technology Readiness Level (TRL) – Our sensors are manufactured at a high TRL, but their suitability for specific applications (e.g., water testing, soil analysis, clinical use) depends on your validation.
🔄 Glucose Sensor Analogy – Just like glucose sensors (e.g., CGMs and blood glucose strips) are high-TRL but application-specific, phosphate sensors must be tested for your unique use case.
Common Questions Answered:
❓ How to convert millivolt readings to phosphate concentration? → You’ll need to create a calibration curve using our test solutions.
❓ Is the response linear or logarithmic? → Linear over small ranges, logarithmic over decades of concentration.
❓ What’s the measurable concentration range? → Our data sheet shows 100 mM to 0.1 mM, but real-world performance depends on your setup.
❓ Can I use custom electronics? → Yes, but we strongly recommend starting with our circuit to ensure baseline functionality.
