Early detection of cell metabolism with a silicon microsensor

Cytotechnology. 1993 Jan;11(Suppl 1):S86-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00746064.

Abstract

A silicon microsensor (ISFET - Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor) has been used to detect the metabolism of a cell population cultured on a coverslip and positioned close to the sensor surface. The system output is analyzed as a function of cell density.
