Organic electrochemical transistor incorporating an ionogel as solid state electolyte for lactate sensing

摘要

The bulk of currently available biosensing techniques often require complex liquid handling, and thus suffer from problems associated with leaking and contamination. We demonstrate the use 10 of an Organic Electrochemical Transistor (OECT) for detection of lactate (an essential analyte in physiological measurements of athlete performance) by integration of a RTIL in a gel-format, as a solid-state electrolyte.
