Abstract

Miniaturization of measurement systems provides several advantages including improved flexibility, decreased sample size, better sensitivity, and the opportunity to multiplex different measurement modalities, opening pathways to new experimental studies. We introduce a scalable glass-based microfluidic bioelectrochemical cell (μ-BEC) platform that miniaturizes a three-electrode electrochemical reactor and multiplexes electrochemical measurements while incorporating imaging capability and microfluidic control. We developed the platform for the study of extracellular electron uptake (EEU) in microbes and used Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) bacteria as a model organism. We demonstrate the use of microfluidic flow to remove planktonic cells and isolate the EEU response of the biofilm.
