Popis: Different types of polymeric matrices were tested in order to optimize the characteristics of the specific ISFETs developed for the detection of an ionic pollutant, the ammonium ion and of a molecular pollutant, the trichlorfon which is a common organophosphorus pesticide. A miniaturized sensor for ammonium detection, based on the integration of both ammonium and reference FETs in a single chip, was fabricated. A differential measurement mode between both FETs was used, this mode of measurement allowed to reduce interferences of Na + and K + ions, the effect of ionic strength and of temperature. The sensitivity of the ammonium detection was around 30 mV/pNH 4 + and the detection limit 2×10 −6 M. Trichlorfon as a common pesticide is detected using a BuChE–FET sensor which is prepared either with cross-linked BSA–glutaraldehyde membrane or photocross-linkable PVA/SbQ (poly(vinyl alcohol) containing styrylpyridinium) membrane. PVA/SbQ membrane shows better characteristics compared to BSA membrane: larger linear dynamic range in kinetic mode, better reproducibility, and above all, better stability in storage. Nevertheless, both membranes present the same detection limit for trichlorfon: 10 −6 M.
