The challenge, however, is to find out a stable and sensitive film architecture that can be incorporated on the sensor's surface. In this paper, we report on the benefits of incorporating a layer-by-layer (LbL) nanofilm of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on capacitive electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) field-effect sensors for detecting urea. Three sensor arrangements were studied in order to investigate the adequate film architecture, involving the LbL film with the enzyme urease: (i) urease immobilized directly onto a bare EIS [EIS-urease] sensor; (ii) urease atop the LbL film over the EIS [EIS-(PAMAM/CNT)-urease] sensor; and (iii) urease sandwiched between the LbL film and another CNT layer [EIS-(PAMAM/CNT)-urease-CNT]. The surface morphology of all three urea-based EIS biosensors was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), while the biosensing abilities were studied by means of capacitance-voltage (C/V) and dynamic constant-capacitance (ConCap) measureaments at urea concentrations ranging from 0.1 mM to 100 mM. The EIS-urease and EIS-(PAMAM/CNT)-urease sensors showed similar sensitivity (∼18 mV/decade) and a nonregular signal behavior as the urea concentration increased. On the other hand, the EIS-(PAMAM/CNT)-urease-CNT sensor exhibited a superior output signal performance and higher sensitivity of about 33 mV/decade. The presence of the additional CNT layer was decisive to achieve a urea based EIS sensor with enhanced properties. Such sensitive architecture demonstrates that the incorporation of an adequate hybrid enzyme-nanofilm as sensing unit opens new prospects for biosensing applications using the field-effect sensor platform.}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisRugeMuellerVeggianetal.2003, author = {Simonis, A. and Ruge, C. and M{\"u}ller-Veggian, Mattea and L{\"u}th, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {A long-term stable macroporoustype EIS structure for electrochemical sensor applications}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B. 91 (2003), H. 1-3}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B. 91 (2003), H. 1-3}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {21 -- 25}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisLuethWangetal.2004, author = {Simonis, A. and L{\"u}th, H. and Wang, J. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {New concepts of miniaturised reference electrodes in silicon technology for potentiometric sensor systems}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B. 103 (2004), H. 1-2}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B. 103 (2004), H. 1-2}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {429 -- 435}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisLuethWangetal.2003, author = {Simonis, A. and L{\"u}th, H. and Wang, J. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Strategies of miniaturised reference electrodes integrated in a silicon-based „one chip" pH sensor}, series = {Sensors. 3 (2003), H. 9}, journal = {Sensors. 3 (2003), H. 9}, isbn = {1424-8220}, pages = {330 -- 339}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisKringsLuethetal.2001, author = {Simonis, A. and Krings, T. and L{\"u}th, H. and Wang, J. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {A „hybrid" thin-film pH sensor with integrated thick-film reference}, series = {Sensors. 1 (2001), H. 6}, journal = {Sensors. 1 (2001), H. 6}, isbn = {1424-8220}, pages = {183 -- 192}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{SimonisDawgulLuethetal.2005, author = {Simonis, A. and Dawgul, M. and L{\"u}th, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Miniaturised reference electrodes for field-effect sensors compatible to silicon chip technology}, series = {Electrochimica Acta. 51 (2005), H. 5}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta. 51 (2005), H. 5}, isbn = {0013-4686}, doi = {10.1016/j.electacta.2005.04.063}, pages = {930 -- 937}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{SiegertMcLeishBaumannetal.2005, author = {Siegert, Petra and McLeish, Michael J. and Baumann, Martin and Iding, Hans and Kneen, Malea M. and Kenyon, George L. and Pohl, Martina}, title = {Exchanging the substrate specificities of pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis and benzoylformate decarboxylase from Pseudomonas putida}, series = {Protein engineering, design, and selection : peds}, volume = {Vol. 18}, journal = {Protein engineering, design, and selection : peds}, number = {Iss. 7}, issn = {1460-213X (E-Journal); 1741-0134 (E-Journal); 0269-2139 (Print); 1741-0126 (Print)}, pages = {345 -- 357}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{SchuetzWeissbeckerSchrothetal.2001, author = {Sch{\"u}tz, S. and Weißbecker, G. and Schroth, P. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Linkage of inanimate structures to biological systems - smart materials in biological micro- nanosystems}, series = {Smart materials : proceedings of the 1st Caesarium, Bonn, November 17 - 19, 1999 / Karl-Heinz Hoffmann ed.}, journal = {Smart materials : proceedings of the 1st Caesarium, Bonn, November 17 - 19, 1999 / Karl-Heinz Hoffmann ed.}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin [u.a.]}, isbn = {3-540-67957-X}, pages = {149 -- 157}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{SchuetzSchoeningSchrothetal.2000, author = {Sch{\"u}tz, S. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Schroth, P. and Weißbecker, B. and Kordos, P. and L{\"u}th, H. and Hummel, Hans E.}, title = {An insectbased BioFET as a bioelectronic nose}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B. 65 (2000), H. 1-3}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B. 65 (2000), H. 1-3}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {291 -- 295}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningWangKrauseetal.2002, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Wang, Josepf and Krause, Robin and Block, Kirstin and Musameh, Mustafa and Mulchandani, Ashok and Mulchandani, Priti and Chen, Wilfred}, title = {Dual amperometric-potentiometric biosensor detection system for monitoring organophosphorus neurotoxins}, series = {Analyica Chimica Acta. 469 (2002), H. 2}, journal = {Analyica Chimica Acta. 469 (2002), H. 2}, isbn = {0378-4304}, pages = {197 -- 203}, year = {2002}, language = {en} }
