Description

BioInkSense™ C160 Carbon Nanotube (CNT)-Enhanced Conductive Ink

BioInkSense™ C160 is a next-generation screen-printable conductive ink formulated with high-purity multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed within an optimized conductive carbon matrix. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes creates an interconnected conductive network that significantly enhances electron transport, electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and electrochemical performance compared with conventional carbon inks.

The engineered CNT network enables rapid charge transfer, reduced electrical resistance, enhanced sensitivity, and outstanding long-term stability under repeated mechanical deformation. C160 is ideally suited for fabrication of high-performance electrochemical biosensors, wearable sensing platforms, flexible printed electronics, microelectrode arrays, and advanced diagnostic devices requiring superior analytical performance.

The formulation is optimized for fabrication of working electrodes used in amperometric, voltammetric, potentiometric, and electrochemical impedance sensors.
