1. A multipurpose and transferrable sample platform for supporting, analyzing and/or processing a target material, the platform comprising:
a substrate;
a dielectric layer formed over a face of the substrate;
electrodes formed over the dielectric layer;
a slot formed through the substrate and the dielectric layer; and
an exfoliated graphene-based membrane placed over the slot and in electrical contact with the electrodes,
wherein the exfoliated graphene-based membrane is configured to support, or act upon, a study material or chemical precursors.
