Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8703095A1] An apparatus for detecting the presence and/or measuring the concentration of an analyte in a fluid by using a biochemical binding system having a substrate (12), a first conductor (10) and a second conductor (14) disposed on substrate (12). The conductor (10) and (14) are spaced apart to form a channel therebetween. A thin insulating layer (16) is coated on the surface of conductors (10, 14) and substrate (12) to form an ''open'' capacitor. A biospecific binding agent (20) is immobilized on the surface of the insulating layer (16) between the conductors (10, 14). The dielectric constant of the biospecific binding agent (20) is altered by binding of the analyte being detected/measured with the biospecific binding agent (20).
