Abstract

A new type of (bio)chemical sensor, the redox-sensitive field-effect transistor is described. It consists of a conventional ISFET with a noble metal added on top of the gate insulator. The gate electrode is modified with a redox polymer containing osmium complexes. The potentiostatic multi-puls method is introduced which allows the adjustment of the redox potential of the gate to a desired value in a stepwise way. It is shown that the open circuit potential after switching off the potentiostat is a good measurement of the presence of the redox active species NADH.
