Abstract

A multifunctional chemical neural probe fabrication process exploiting PDMS thin-film transfer to incorporate a microfluidic channel onto a silicon-based microelectrode array (MEA) platform, and enzyme microstamping to provide multi-analyte detection is described. The Si/PDMS hybrid chemtrode, modified with a nano-based on-probe IrOx reference electrode, was validated in brain phantoms and in rat brain.
