Nanoneedle Transistor-Based Sensors for the Selective Detection of Intracellular Calcium Ions

Abstract: We developed a nanoneedle transistor-based sensor (NTS) for the selective detection of calcium ions inside a living cell. In this work, a single-walled carbon nanotube-based field effect transistor (swCNT-FET) was first fabricated at the end of a glass nanopipette and functionalized with Fluo-4-AM probe dye. The selective binding of calcium ions onto the dye molecules altered the charge state of the dye molecules, resulting in the change of the source-drain current of the swCNT-FET as well as the fluorescence … Show more

“…(15) The progressive evolution of sensor fabrication technologies has moved the medical sensor field quite distinctly from the macroscale, through the microdomain and now into the nanoworld. (16) This enables the complexities of cellular and intracellular processes to be examined in detail at the fundamental level. In fact, there have also been significant benefits to research in sensor science and technology from the inspiration that derives from natural biological sensory systems, (17) for example, from the senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.…”
