METHOD AND DEVICE EMPLOYING PHOTORESPONSIVE SEMICONDUCTOR ELECTRODE FOR DETERMINING ANALYTE.

摘要

Photoresponsive devices, including a photoresponsive electrode, are provided and methods for their use to measure changes in environment at a site at or about the surface of the photoresponsive device. By employing a source of light for irradiating a site on the surface and means for biasing the photoresponsive electrode in relation to a counterelectrode, a variation in electrical signal can be related to a change in a medium in photoresponsive modulation relationship to the photoresponsive electrode surface.
