“…For example, Izak et al proposed real-time monitoring of cell growth through a diamond-based electrolyte-gated FET sensitive to pH, Na + , and K + , as well as to the adhesion of cells. As explained above, the difference between this EGFET configuration and an ISFET configuration, is that the diamond gate was free of gate oxide, which brings a higher sensitivity for small potential changes above the gate electrode [ 74 ]. In this work, the cellular activity was followed by changes in the threshold voltage of the device ( Figure 12 ).…”

Featured Application Animal testing will be soon replaced by better accepted and less expensive in-vitro cell culture models, which explains the recent demand for real-time cell culture monitoring systems. They can bring high throughput screening and could be used not only for biomedical purposes (drug discovery, toxicology, protein expression, cancer diagnostic, etc.), but also for environmental ones (qualification of pollutants cocktails, for example). Beyond this, in-situ monitoring also participates in strengthening the fundamental knowledge about cells metabolism. AbstractWe review here the chemical sensors for pH, glucose, lactate, and neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine or glutamate, made of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), including organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) and electrolyte-gated OFETs (EGOFETs), for the monitoring of cell activity. First, the various chemicals that are produced by living cells and are susceptible to be sensed in-situ in a cell culture medium are reviewed. Then, we discuss the various materials used to make the substrate onto which cells can be grown, as well as the materials used for making the transistors. The main part of this review discusses the up-to-date transistor architectures that have been described for cell monitoring to date.
