| Abstract
| - Fabrication and electrochemical characterization of microarrays of individually addressable vertically alignedcarbon nanofiber electrodes contained within an open fluidic channel are described. Compatibility of thedeterministic synthesis of vertically aligned nanofibers with conventional microfabrication techniques enablesthe development of relatively complex, functional multilevel devices that may be produced efficiently inlarge numbers. The vertical orientation of nanofibers provides a basis for small volume electroanalyses inprobing regions elevated above the planar substrate, which can enable applications including electroanalysiswithin and around live cell matrixes, high aspect ratio probing structures for scanning electrochemicalmicroscopy, and channel-resident electrodes with high capture efficiency for electrochemical detection ofmicrofluidic chemical separations.
