Development of an iridium-based pH sensor for bioanalytical applications
2018
A new iridium-based planar pH sensor for bioanalytical purposes is introduced. The fabrication of the sensor was carried out by a two-stage coating process of different iridium solutions on a platinum thick film surface. The pH response behaviour and the Nernstian characteristics of the double-layer electrode exhibited better results than the single iridium depositions. An almost theoretical Nernstian slope could be obtained as well as a pH response time of about 3 to 5 min in a pH range of 4.01 to 9.18. Furthermore, a biofilm growth of different microorganisms onto the iridium-coated electrodes could be achieved. Afterwards, the viability of the microorganisms was demonstrated via cell plating studies.
