摘要:
An efficient method for the microfabrication of electronic devices which have been adapted for the analyses of biologically significant analyte species is described. The techniques of the present invention allow for close control over the dimensional features of the various components and layers established on a suitable substrate. Such control extends to those parts of the devices which incorporate the biological components which enable these devices to function as biological sensors. The materials and methods disclosed herein thus provide an effective means for the mass production of uniform wholly microfabricated biosensors. Various embodiments of the devices themselves are described herein which are especially suited for real time analyses of biological samples in a clinical setting. In particular, the present invention describes assays which can be performed using certain ligand/ligand receptor-based biosensor embodiments. The present invention also discloses a novel method for the electrochemical detection of particular analyte species of biological and physiological significance using a substrate/label signal generating pair which produces a change in the concentration of electroactive species selected from the group consisting of dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide.

摘要:
A plurality of uniform microfabricated sensing devices are produced by establishing a plurality of base sensors on a substrate wafer, forming over at least a portion of each base sensor a permselective layer, superimposing a photoformable proteinaceous photoresist layer over a substantial portion of the permselective layer, and forming a topmost layer of an immobilized ligand receptor. The ligand receptor and corresponding ligand may be immunoreactive species.

摘要:
A method of forming a permselective layer on preselected areas of a substantially planar sensing device is disclosed. The claimed method includes establishing and confining a liquid film, derived from a silane compound mixed in a suitable solvent, within a predetermined area of the sensing device. The process relates to photolithographic imaging and developing methods coupled to a film-curing step that provides a patterned permselective layer having the desired semipermeable characteristics.
