9600236 Roberts The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twentyfour months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit which will support Dr. Matthew A. Roberts to work with Dr. Hubert Girault at the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne in Switzerland. The objective of this project is to 1) produce a microfabricated liquid handling device with an interdigitated array (IDA) electrochemical (EC) detection cell and 2) to utilize IDAs for EC detection of immunoassays within the proposed microfabricated liquid handling device. The production of this miniaturized chemical analysis system device will be able to monitor environmental pollutants in a truly field-portable fashion. Analysis times of less than five minutes are expected which could be used for the rapid analysis of priority pollutants and quick mapping of contaminant mobility at remediation sites. This technology will help reduce characterization and overall remediation costs at sites associated with national Superfund programs due to these advantages. ***

9600236 Roberts 国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究以及使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。 该奖项将支持为期 12 个月的博士后研究访问，支持 Matthew A. Roberts 博士与 Hubert Girault 博士在瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院合作。 该项目的目标是 1) 生产带有叉指阵列 (IDA) 电化学 (EC) 检测单元的微型液体处理装置，以及 2) 在拟议的微型液体处理装置中利用 IDA 进行免疫测定的 EC 检测。 这种小型化化学分析系统设备的生产将能够以真正的现场便携式方式监测环境污染物。预计分析时间少于五分钟，可用于快速分析优先污染物并快速绘制修复地点的污染物迁移率。 由于这些优势，该技术将有助于降低与国家超级基金计划相关的地点的特征描述和总体修复成本。 ***
