Research profile:

Chemical Sensors Research Group (CSRG) has been established based on our former research activity in membrane ion-selective electrodes, chemically modified field effect transistors and fibre optic chemical sensors. We have found possibilities to unify a set of materials and procedures to develop durable chemical sensors based on different principles of measurements. Fulfilling the needs of users and economic aspects, many efforts have been put on miniaturisation of these devices. A great number of different chemical sensors have found applications in various branches of human activities, from clinical chemistry through analytical process control to monitoring of environmental pollution.

During various research grants conducted by the group it was equipped with high-tech scientific apparatus: spectrofluorimeter (FluoroMax-3), array spectrophotometers (Specord S-10), fiber optic spectrophotometers (CDI, Ocean Optics), setups for voltammetry, automated sets for titration. The full list of various equipment can be found on the internet: http://csrg.ch.pw.edu.pl. This web site presents also research profile of the group and selected results.
