MDC1 Microdialysis Catheter for “in vitro” Measurement
The microflow cell FC2 (BVT Technologies, a.s.) connected with microdialysis catheter PME011 (Probe Scientific, Ltd., UK) enables continuous monitoring of low-molecular substances in circulating blood without withdrawing blood from the tested body. (The device is not approved for human use as a whole; the microdialysis catheter has the approval for medical use).
SPE electrochemical sensors and biosensors can be enclosed in the FC2 cell – e.g. the AC1.GOD sensor for measuring glucose. The advantage of this system is the defined and sterile conditions under which the sample is fed through the microdialysis catheter to the working electrode of the SPE sensor.
The device can be also used for measurement in fermentation reactors, in subcutaneous tissues or in special scientific apparatuses. The main advantage of this catheter is in a special membrane which produces a “plasma-like” or “prefiltered sample” sample without the need for blood centrifugation or deproteinization.
MDC1 makes online monitoring of different blood parameters (biochemical compounds actual concentration or kinetics of enzymatic reactions) possible. The device is also convenient for pharmacological studies. The device can be used only for non human applications.

AC1 Electrochemical sensor
Read moreBasic amperometric low cost three-electrode sensor with patented structure made by thick film technology.
Dimensions: 25.4 x 7.26 x 0.63 mm
WE material: Au/Pt, Au, Pt, Ag, C
The sensor is formed on a corundum ceramic base. On to this surface the working, the reference and the auxiliary electrodes are applied. The working and the auxiliary electrodes are made of variety of materials. At the end of the sensor there is a contacting field which is connected with the active part by the silver conducting paths which are covered by a dielectric protection layer.
A bio-chemically active substance can be immobilised on the working electrode of the sensor to create a biosensor. All sensors can be equipped with heating and temperature sensing elements. Thermistor (must be calibrated) or Pt 1000 (the response corresponds to the ISO standard) is used as the temperature sensor.
We also offer:
- working electrode made of polished gold (WE diameter 1 or 2 mm) – sensor type: AC1P.W*.R*, with homogenous surface with roughness less than 1 µm
- working electrode made of a material of guaranteed purity of up to 99.99 % (WE diameter 2 mm) – sensor type: AC1.GP
We also offer activated graphite sensors on customer request.

Activation furnance for electrochemical sensors
Read moreThe activation furnance is a device used for curing individual sensors of the AC1 type. At a defined temperature (up to 1000 °C) depending on the electrode and sensor materials. When the sensor is cured, the surface of the electrodes is cleaned from surface oxides and organic impurities, which results in regeneration of the sensor or its activation. In this way, for example, old sensors with immobilized enzyme layers can be cured for reuse – see example at the end ot the document.
