Abstract

A microsensor chip fabricated in silicon technology was developed at the Heinz Nixdorf-Lehrstuhl für Medizinische Elekronik at Technische Universität München. This BioChip contains microsensors for measurement of pH, dissolved oxygen, bioimpedance and temperature. Furthermore it was possible to realize a new sensor for dissolved redox active substances. Using a noble metal electrode (NME) surrounding an ISFET (ion sensitive field effect transistor) pH-sensor it was possible to measure dissolved oxygen concentration indirectly via the resulting change in the pH value when applying −700mV at the NME. The concept of this O2-FET was extended successfully also for measuring other dissolved redox-active substances, using a cyclovoltammetric (CV) scanning mode. With this approach of a so called CV-FET sensor, dissolved substances can be detected according to their specific CV patterns.
