Characterization and analytical validation of a microcantilever-based sensor for the determination of total carbonate in soil samples
چکیده انگلیسی

A microcantilever device has been used as a miniaturized sensor for the determination of total carbonate in soil samples. The method is based on the selective generation of CO2 (g) from samples and the measure of the pressure effect on the microcantilever sensor located in a closed system. The experimental set-up uses a manifold including the sample reaction minichamber and a dedicated flow-cell designed and built for housing the microcantilever. The response of this sensor was electronically and analytically characterized by using conductance signals. The analytical performance of the sensor was compared to that provided by the conventional quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), demonstrating advantages in terms of sensitivity, linear range of response and resolution. After the optimization of the method, it was validated for its use for direct determination of carbonate in soil samples. The method allowed the determination of carbonate in the 3–75 mg range, with a precision of 1.7%, expressed as relative standard deviation. It was applied to the analysis of different soil samples, obtaining results in agreement with those produced by the official method.
