Abstract

Bi-directional transfer of data from the chemical to the electrical domain andvice versa is possible by the integration of a coulometric actuator electrode with a pH-sensitive ISFET.

The device thus obtained can be operated in several modes, each offering specific advantages or new areas of application. This paper reviews the previously published applications and adds some original results. Besides a short introduction in the operational mechanism of the sensor-actuator device, the following applications are treated: acid or base concentration determination, carbon dioxide sensor, pH-static enzyme sensor, determination of diffusion coefficients, determination of buffer capacity, characterization of proteins and the application of alternative electrode materials.
