Magnesium test – universal and ultra-sensitive method for measuring reliability of thin-film-encapsulated bioelectronic implants in physiological environment
LPAC scientists have developed a comprehensive method to quantify the water permeability of thin-film encapsulation for bioelectronic implants both in situ and in real time, in collaboration with EPFL colleagues who create the next generation of bioelectronic implants. The method features an unprecedented ultra-low detection limit of 3 × 10-8 g/m2/day at room temperature.
