Measurement of gastric wall PCO2 (PgCO2) by tonometric method has emerged as an attractive option for estimating visceral perfusion during circulatory shock. However, gastric acid secretion obfuscates the tonometric measurement. We, therefore, investigated the option of measuring PCO2 in the esophagus to minimize these restraints. Hemorrhagic shock was induced in five Sprague-Dawley rats, and f...

© 2009 Apinunt Thanachayanont et al. 243 ABSTRACT⎯A novel ultra-low-power readout circuit for a pH-sensitive ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) is proposed. It uses an ISFET/reference FET (REFET) differential pair operating in weak-inversion and a simple current-mode metal-oxide semiconductor FET (MOSFET) translinear circuit. Simulation results verify that the circuit operates with e...

The transformation of biochemical information into a physical or chemical signal is the basic idea behind a biosensor. The efficient detection of charged biomolecules by biosensor with appropriate device has caught tremendous research interest in the present decade. The present work is related to the simulation study of the performance of a functionalized surface of a biologically sensitive fie...

A comprehensive study of the drain current drift mechanism and hysteresis phenomena in fabricated p-channel junctionless ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (JL-ISFET) has been investigated for first time. The measurements have performed through transient analysis current, under different pH liquid-gate bias (Vlg). Further, time-dependent gate-capacitance (CG) also analyzed to see effect hydr...
