What is the principle of ISFET technology?
The principle of the ISFET technology is that when the H+ activity changes, the current-driven voltage will change and a different pH value is measured accordingly. To complete the electrical circuit, the ISFET sensor (also called the indicator electrode) needs a reference electrode. For any change in the analyte concentration, the potential of the reference electrode will remain virtually constant and so the change of potential will only be caused by the indicator electrode.
What is pH and how is it measured?
The pH is a widely used way of expressing the acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions. In essence it is a means of indicating the hydrogen ion (H+) activity in products, which in turn is the direct availability of free H+. The commonly used pH scale is from 0 to 14: a pH value of 7 is neutral, values below 7 are acidic and those above 7 are alkaline or basic.

Notes *Sensor performance is highly dependent on assembly method, reference electrode and properties of analyte. * Significantly lower drifts are achieved in mild conditions (i.e. around pH 7 with moderate pH fluctuations). Drift can be significantly reduced (<0.02 pH / 24h) by duty cycling. Typical drift is ≤ 0.05pH / 24h. * In harsh conditions the drift can be higher. | |
