In-Depth Information
The power supply uses either batteries or 110 AC to generate all the voltages used in
the device. The potentiostat is used to bias the immunoelectrode and convert its current
into a voltage signal. The pumping system delivers the reagents used to test the sample.
And the mircocontroller runs the program used to test the sample and display the results.
