Popis: A stamp-sized, flexible, wireless, generic electrochemical sensor platform was demonstrated for use as a potentiometric pH and amperometric Cl− sensor. The platform combines flexible printed circuit technology with screen-printed electrodes, which enables cheap and easy quantification of biorelevant analytes in many different environments. pH sensors with graphene oxide as the recognition element was constructed on a ferrocyanide modified carbon electrode, to maintain a well-defined redox potential even at high alkalinity. A solid-state reference electrode based on a NaCl-doped polyvinyl butyral membrane ensured applicability towards sample matrices of unknown composition by remining unsensitive (±7.1 mV) to external Cl− in the range pCl 0–3. The platform was able to linearly (−26.3 mV pH−1, r2 = 0.99) quantify pH in the range of 2–9 with a maximum inter-sensor standard deviation of 0.43 pH units. Secondly, a Cl− sensor combining three unmodified Ag/AgCl electrodes with squarewave amperometry was designed, simulated and tested. A sensitivity of (−147.7 $\mu \text{A}$ pCl−1, r2 = 0.97) was obtained, with a maximum inter-sensor standard deviation of 0.27 pCl units in the range pCl 0–3.
