A chemical impedance detector having several electrodes situated on or
across a dielectric layer of a substrate. The electrodes may be across or
covered with a thin film polymer. Each electrode may have a set of
finger-like electrodes. Each set of finger-like electrodes may be
intermeshed, but not in contact, with another set of finger-like
electrodes. The thin-film polymer may have a low dielectric constant and
a high porous surface area. The chemical impedance detector may be
incorporated in a micro fluid analyzer system.
