Indium tin oxide electrodes for cell-based biosensors

Cell-based biosensors provide a means to detect physiological responses in cells. The electrode-to-cell interface is a critical factor in monitoring these responses. Initial biochamber results are presented which include attachment studies using COS-7 cells on indium tin oxide (ITO) and SiO/sub 2/ surfaces and capacitance studies implementing ITO electrodes to monitor the biochamber's environment.
