Abstract
A miniaturized multisensor system, intended for the simultaneous measu rement of six different parameters in a liquid flow, is presented. The system combines a multisensor chip, a micromachined flow-through cell and optical fiber interfaces to monitor pressure, flow rate, temperat ure, conductivity, W-absorption and fluorescence. The design and fabri cation process for the sensor and flow-cell chips are described as wel l as the design of the packaging and the optical, electrical and liqui d interfaces. Measurement results show that the performance of the sys tem can compete with that of conventional stand-alone sensors. (C) 199 8 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
