    Abstract: A hydrogel-based interdigitated microelectrode biosensor is disclosed. The hydrogel-based interdigitated microelectrode biosensor includes: a first interdigitated microelectrode having a plurality of first protrusion electrodes arranged in a comb-like shape on a substrate; a second interdigitated microelectrode facing the first interdigitated microelectrode and having a plurality of second protrusion electrodes arranged in a comb-like shape on the substrate, the second protrusion electrodes being arranged alternately with the first protrusion electrodes of the first interdigitated microelectrode; and a hydrogel filled in a space between the first and second interdigitated microelectrodes arranged alternately with each other. The hydrogel is provided between the interdigitated microelectrodes such that the presence and concentration of a biological substance, such as a protein, are detected by measuring the impedance between the interdigitated microelectrodes.

    Abstract: An interdigitated electrode biosensor includes an insulating layer configured to fully cover a sensor forming region of a substrate, a first interdigitated microelectrode configured such that a plurality of first protruding electrodes is arranged in a shape of a comb on the substrate, a second interdigitated microelectrode configured such that a plurality of second protruding electrodes is arranged in a shape of a comb and each interdigitates with the plurality of first protruding electrodes, and a plurality of receptors that is immobilized in a space between the first interdigitated microelectrode and the second interdigitated microelectrode and reacts specifically to target biomaterials. Different voltages are uniformly or nonuniformly applied to the first interdigitated microelectrode and the second interdigitated microelectrode to generate a dielectrophoretic force by a nonuniform electric field, improving the sensor by increasing the probability of specific reaction with the target biomaterials using the concentration effect through dielectrophoresis.
