Abstract
The infield measurement of nutrients, heavy metals, and other contaminants in water is still a needed tool in environmental sciences. The Lab-on-a-chip approach can develop deployable instruments that use the standardized analytical assay in a miniaturized manner in the field. This paper presents a Lab-on-a-chip platform for colorimetric measurements that can be deployed for nutrient monitoring in open water (oceans, rivers, lakes, etc.). Nitrite was selected as an analyte. Change to other analytes is possible by changing the reagents and the detection wavelength. In this paper, the principle of the sensor, technical realization, setup of the sensor, and test deployment are described. The sensor prototype was deployed at the Jade Bay (German Bight) for 9 h, measuring the nitrite value every 20 min. Reference samples were taken and processed in the lab. The work presented here shows that an infield measurement using a colorimetric assay is possible by applying Lab-on-a-chip principles.
