Abstract
An immuno-FET sensor was constructed using immobilized anti-human serum albumin, polyvinylbutyral membrane and an Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET). The characteristics of this sensor system were investigated using human serum albumin (HSA) as a standard substrate. A linear relationship was obtained between the initial rate of the differential gate output voltage change and the logarithmic value of the HSA concentration. HSA was determined in the range 0.01 - 1 mg ml-1. The effect of pH was investigated. In the alkaline range, the response increased in proportion to pH value (pH 7.0, 9.0). In contrast, in the acid range, the response was not observed (pH 3.0, 4.0). The reusability was also investigated. After five cycles, the relative activity had decreased by approximately 80%.
