“…To solve the above-mentioned problem, the ion-step method was first introduced for the ISFET-based detection of lysozymes by Schasfoort et al (1990b) and was further developed by other research groups (Van Kerhof et al, 1994;Eijkel et al, 1997;Besselink et al, 2003). The ion-step method is based on a dynamic measuring method, in which the ISFET sensor detects the ion-step response of the release or uptake of protons by protein molecules bound onto the ISFET sensor.…”
