Abstract

GaN based pH-sensors were used to measure the reaction and the kinetics of a lipase assay producing caprylic acid. Sensor structures consist of an AlGaN/GaN-heterostructure grown by plasma-induced molecular beam epitaxy with a thin GaN cap layer. The carrier concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas is manipulated by changing the surface potential due to changes in pH value.
