Abstract
The development of a lab-on-chip system which allows the parallel detection of a variety of different parameters of a water sample is presented. Water analysis typically comprises the determination of around 30 physical and chemical parameters. An even larger number can arise when special contaminations of organic molecules are of interest. A demonstration system has been realised to show the feasibility and performance of an integrated device for the determination of physical quantities like electrical conductivity, light absorption and turbidity. Additionally, chemical quantities like the pH-value and the content of inorganic and organic contaminations are also determined. Two chips of credit card size contain the analytical functions and will be fabricated by injection moulding. First prototypes have been manufactured by milling or precision milling for the optical components.
