<p>A semiconductor device (Figure 1) is provided for the detection of nitric oxide (NO) molecules in gaseous mixtures, in biological fluids and in aqueous solutions. The device is a molecular controlled semiconductor resistor (MOCSER) of a multilayered GaAs structure to which top layer a layer of multifunctional NO-binding molecules are adsorbed. The sensitivity of the semiconductor device towards NO is independent of mixture composition. Nitric oxide concentrations of as low as 10 ppb NO were detected in mixtures containing various contaminants.</p> |
