A chemiresistive thin-film translating biological recognition into electrical signals: an innovative signaling mode for contactless biosensing.

An innovative signaling mode in which a chemiresistive thin-film electrode monitors the specific gaseous component that results from a biological recognition event to indirectly detect targets in the liquid phase is developed for highly-efficient contactless biosensing. This signaling mode may open a new horizon in designing robust biosensing devices for bioanalysis.
