β¦ Synopsis
Several silicon-based biosensors have been developed for various applications, such as enzymatic and immunological activity determination and cell-metabolism detection. This work describes an electrochemical characterization of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (1SFET) and light-addressabie potentiometriΒ’ sensor (LAPS) transducers and a test of such devices as detectors of 3T6 (Swiss albino mouse embryo, fibroblasts) metabolism. In particular, our investigation is devoted to some fundamental parameters of these transducers (e.g., pH sensitivity, drift, temperature dependence of the output signal, speed of response) for the purpose of comparing their performance related to cellmetabolism evaluation. The final goal is therefore to analyze the capabilities of these silicon-based transducers for use in a biosensing system for cell-metabolism detection.

Reverse genetic approaches to generate mutants of model species are useful tools to assess functions of unknown genes. Recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of such strategies in several organisms, exploiting the power of chemical mutagenesis to disrupt genes randomly throughout the genome. T
