Notes:
A significant upgrading of a recently introduced biosensor system, called potentiometric alternating biosensor is presented. The transducer consists of a light-addressable silicon chip, which provides regions properly modified and functionalized to yield sensitivity to either pH or redox potentials. The computer controlled system drives an array of light sources, allowing two-dimensional signal acquisition and processing. The system can provide multiparameter information related to the local modifications made on the sensing surface of the transducer. This work presents a detailed description of the measuring principles and the spatial resolution obtainable with the system. In addition, the complete circuit design is presented, both for signal conditioning, and for the bidimensional matrix addressing. A typical experiment for selective measurements is presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
