Sapphire chips, beads, and powder were first modified with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), followed by succinic anhydride (SA), and finally single-stranded probe DNA was EDC coupled to the functionalized layer. The presence of the APTES-SA layer on sapphire powders was confirmed by thermogravimetric analyis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Using planar sapphire chips as substrates and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as surface-sensitive tool, the sequence of individual layers was analyzed with respect to their chemical state, enabling the quantification of areal densities of the involved molecular units. Fluorescence microscopy was used to demonstrate the hybridization of fluorescently tagged target DNA to the probe DNA, including denaturation- and re-hybridization experiments. Due to its high thermal conductivity, synthetic sapphire is especially suitable as a chip material for the heat-transfer method, which was employed to distinguish complementary- and non-complementary DNA duplexes containing single-nucleotide polymorphisms. These results indicate that it is possible to detect mutations electronically with a chemically resilient and electrically insulating chip material.}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerMolinaYoshinobuetal.2007, author = {Wagner, Torsten and Molina, Roberto and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo and Kloock, Joachim P. and Biselli, Manfred and Canzoneri, Michele and Schnitzler, Thomas and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Handheld multi-channel LAPS device as a transducer platform for possible biological and chemical multi-sensor applications}, series = {Electrochimica Acta. 53 (2007), H. 2}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta. 53 (2007), H. 2}, isbn = {0013-4686}, pages = {305 -- 311}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerMarisAckermannetal.2007, author = {Wagner, Torsten and Maris, Rob J. and Ackermann, Hans-Josef and Otto, Ralph and Beging, Stefan and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Handheld measurement device for field-effect sensor structures: Practical evaluation and limitations}, series = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical . 127 (2007), H. 1}, journal = {Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical . 127 (2007), H. 1}, isbn = {0925-4005}, pages = {217 -- 223}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{NaetherBergerEmmerichetal.2008, author = {N{\"a}ther, Niko and Berger, J{\"o}rg and Emmerich, R{\"u}diger and Friedrich, P. and Henkel, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {H2O2-Konzentrationsbestimmung f{\"u}r die Prozessgasanalytik mittels eines kalorimetrischen Sensoraufbaus}, series = {Sensoren und Messsysteme 2008 : 14.

The terminal amino group of the AuAOT is well suited for the functionalization with biomolecules. The attachment of the positively-charged AuAOTs on a capacitive field-effect sensor was detected by direct electrical readout using capacitance-voltage and constant capacitance measurements. With a higher particle density on the sensor surface, the measured signal change was correspondingly more pronounced. The results demonstrate the ability of capacitive field-effect sensors for the non-destructive quantitative validation of nanoparticle immobilization.

Currently, no specific vaccines or drugs against COVID-19 are available. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are essential in order to slow the virus spread and to contain the disease outbreak. Hence, new diagnostic tests and devices for virus detection in clinical samples that are faster, more accurate and reliable, easier and cost-efficient than existing ones are needed. Due to the small sizes, fast response time, label-free operation without the need for expensive and time-consuming labeling steps, the possibility of real-time and multiplexed measurements, robustness and portability (point-of-care and on-site testing), biosensors based on semiconductor field-effect devices (FEDs) are one of the most attractive platforms for an electrical detection of charged biomolecules and bioparticles by their intrinsic charge. In this review, recent advances and key developments in the field of label-free detection of viruses (including plant viruses) with various types of FEDs are presented. In recent years, however, certain plant viruses have also attracted additional interest for biosensor layouts: Their repetitive protein subunits arranged at nanometric spacing can be employed for coupling functional molecules. If used as adapters on sensor chip surfaces, they allow an efficient immobilization of analyte-specific recognition and detector elements such as antibodies and enzymes at highest surface densities. The display on plant viral bionanoparticles may also lead to long-time stabilization of sensor molecules upon repeated uses and has the potential to increase sensor performance substantially, compared to conventional layouts. This has been demonstrated in different proof-of-concept biosensor devices. Therefore, richly available plant viral particles, non-pathogenic for animals or humans, might gain novel importance if applied in receptor layers of FEDs.

The potential distribution generated by the catalytic metals integrated into a semiconductor field-effect structure was read as a photocurrent signal generated by scanning light pulses. The impact of the proposed technology spread beyond gas sensing, inspiring the development of various imaging modalities based on the light addressing of field-effect structures to obtain spatial maps of pH distribution, ions, molecules, and impedance, and these modalities have been applied in both biological and non-biological systems. These light-addressing technologies have been further developed to realize the position control of a faradaic current on the electrode surface for localized electrochemical reactions and amperometric measurements, as well as the actuation of liquids in microfluidic devices.}, language = {en} } @article{AbouzarIngebrandtPoghossianetal.2009, author = {Abouzar, Maryam H. and Ingebrandt, S. and Poghossian, Arshak and Zhang, Y. and Moritz, W. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Field-effect nanoplate capacitive pH sensor based on SOI structure}, series = {Semiconductor micro- and nanoelectronics : Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference , Tsakhcadzor, Armenia July 3-5 2009}, journal = {Semiconductor micro- and nanoelectronics : Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference , Tsakhcadzor, Armenia July 3-5 2009}, pages = {55 -- 58}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{GunSchoeningAbouzaretal.2008, author = {Gun, Jenny and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Abouzar, Maryam H. and Poghossian, Arshak and Katz, Evgeny}, title = {Field-Effect Nanoparticle-Based Glucose Sensor on a Chip: Amplification Effect of Coimmobilized Redox Species}, series = {Electroanalysis. 20 (2008), H. 16}, journal = {Electroanalysis. 20 (2008), H. 16}, isbn = {1521-4109}, pages = {1748 -- 1753}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{PoghossianWeilBaeckeretal.2012, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Weil, M.

This procedure improved the integrity of both TVCVPA and the wild-type subgroup 3 tobamovirus. TVCVPA could be loaded with more than 500 IgGs per virion, which mediated the immunocapture of fluorescent dyes, GFP, and active enzymes. Bi-enzyme ensembles of cooperating glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were tethered together on the TVCVPA carriers via a single antibody type, with one enzyme conjugated chemically to its Fc region, and the other one bound as a target, yielding synthetic multi-enzyme complexes. In microtiter plates, the TVCVPA-displayed sugar-sensing system possessed a considerably increased reusability upon repeated testing, compared to the IgG-bound enzyme pair in the absence of the virus. A high coverage of the viral adapters was also achieved on Ta2O5 sensor chip surfaces coated with a polyelectrolyte interlayer, as a prerequisite for durable TVCVPA-assisted electrochemical biosensing via modularly IgG-assembled sensor enzymes.}, language = {en} } @article{YoshinobuSchoeningFingeretal.2004, author = {Yoshinobu, T. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Finger, F. and Moritz, W. and Iwasaki, H.}, title = {Fabrication of thin-film LAPS with amorphous silicon}, series = {Sensors. 4 (2004), H. 10}, journal = {Sensors. 4 (2004), H. 10}, isbn = {1424-8220}, pages = {163 -- 169}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{MuckWangJacobsetal.2004, author = {Muck, A. and Wang, J. and Jacobs, M. and Chen, G. and Chatrathi, M.
