SENSORS FOR ELECTRICALLY SENSING BINDING EVENTS FOR SUPPORTED MOLECULAR RECEPTORS

摘要

A first sensor (18) for electrically sensing a molecular binding event includes a receptor-supporting element (20) into which a reagent is diffusable, at least one molecular receptor (22) supported by the receptorsupporting element (20), and a first electrode (24) embedded in the receptorsupporting element (20). A second sensor for electrically sensing a molecular binding event includes a receptor-supporting element (130), at least one molecular receptor (132) supported by the receptor-supporting element (130), an electrode (134) coupled to the receptor-supporting element (130), and a porous electrode (136) coupled to the receptor-supporting element (130).
