Voltammetric measurement of microorganism populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A voltammetric biosensor was developed for the assay of microorganism populations. A tetracycline-modified glassy carbon electrode was used in the construction of the biosensor and an electrochemical cell with an elastic base was employed in the measurement. The possible mechanism of the electrode response was discussed. The determination limit of the microbial populations was 2–5 × 104 cells with cyclic voltammetry and the measuring period for a sample was 30 min. Measurements on 16 samples showed that the method was a rapid and practical way for the determination of microorganism populations in food and environmental samples. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract We have developed an on-chip image sensor with target applications of on-chip biomolecular and neural imaging. The sensor pixel can sense not only intensity of incident light, but also on-chip electric potential. The light shield structure on the pixel circuit was used as a sensing electrode. Once the passivation layer on the sensing electrode was removed, one can perform on-chip volta...
