"Molecular oxygen and humidity are some of the major environmental quantities being measured for various industrial and commercial applications. This dissertation focuses on the design, fabrication and characterization of optofluidic biosensor systems for oxygen and humidity quantification using color charge-coupled device (CCD) camera as a photodetector and LED panel as an excitation source. Meso-scale fluidic devices with integrated oxygen and humidity sensors for potential applications to hydrotropic and oxytropic studies of small plant roots have been investigated in this study. Meso-scale sensor platform was fabricated using porphyrine complex as the sensitive dye embedded within Ethyl Cellulose (EC) polymer matrix. Green …
