Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described are devices and methods for detecting the match quality and concentration of analytes binding to an electrode surface. The devices utilize a clock to measure capacitance change as a function of time and a temperature controller to measure the capacitance change as a function of temperature.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: exposing a surface of a sensing electrode of a device to an analyte, the surface of the sensing electrode having a probe molecule attached thereto; wherein the device comprises a substrate; at least one drive electrode, the sensing electrode and at least one reference electrode on a surface of the substrate, and an integrating charge amplifier connected to the sensing electrode and configured to detect a change in effective capac…
