At ZP we love the utility of electrochemistry as it is both a fabrication science and a sensing science. An example of this can be found in molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs), where electropolymerization upon the electrode in the presence of a template can form the MIPs.
When this electropolymerization is performed on a carrier such as a screen printed electrode (SPE) then the subsequent molecular imprinted electrochemical sensors (MIECS) is true platform for a host of target analytes.
The advantage of forming MIECS by electropolymerization is that this can done at room temperature and the MIPs film is uniform and thin.
A good benefit of electropolymerization is that it is easy to implement in the lab, but it does sometimes struggle in scale-up/manufacturing. At ZP we perform a lot of contract development and contract manufacturing, and thought we can produce tens to hundreds of devices on parallel potentiostats, we are also able to utilize VoltDeposit, a robotic system for scaling MIECS to thousands and tens of thousands.
The scalability of MIECS comes from the cost and quality/repeatability of our underlying screen printed electrodes, and the integration between our parallel potentiostats and robotics, and our data processing through Djuli.
