Sensor arrangement and method for operating a sensor arrangement
摘要:
Sensor arrangement, set up as an integrated circuit, having a substrate, at least three sensor electrodes arranged on the substrate such that, in an operating state in which an electrically conductive substance is introduced into the sensor arrangement, the sensor electrodes are coupled to one another by means of the electrically conductive substance, capture molecules immobilized on at least a portion of the sensor electrodes, wherein molecules to be detected can hybridize with the capture molecules, a control circuit for applying a first electrical signal to a selected sensor electrode and simultaneously applying a second electrical signal to at least two of the other sensor electrodes, the first electrical signal being a first temporally variable electrical signal and/or the second electrical signal being a second temporally variable electrical signal, a detection device, which is set up such that, in a first operating state, in which a reference liquid is introduced into the sensor arrangement, a reference value of a third temporally variable electrical signal resulting from the first temporally variable electrical signal and/or from the second temporally variable electrical signal is detected at the selected sensor electrode, and in a second operating state, in which an analyte possibly having molecules to be detected is introduced into the sensor arrangement, a sensor value of the third temporally variable electrical signal resulting from the first temporally variable electrical signal and/or from the second temporally variable electrical signal is detected at the selected sensor electrode, and an evaluation circuit, which, on the basis of the reference value and the sensor value, determines whether a hybridization event has taken place at the selected sensor electrode.
