Abstract

In this work the properties of a biotin-streptavidin BioFET have been studied numerically with homogenized boundary interface conditions as the link between the oxide of the FET and the analyte which contains the bio-sample. The biotin-streptavidin reaction pair is used in purification and detection of various biomolecules; the strong streptavidin-biotin bond can also be used to attach biomolecules to one another or onto a solid support. Thus this reaction pair in combination with a FET as the transducer is a powerful setup enabling the detection of a wide variety of molecules with many advantages that stem from the FET, like no labeling, no need of expensive read-out devices, the possibility to put the signal amplification and analysis on the same chip, and outdoor usage without the necessity of a lab.
