Microfluidics integrated NiO based electrolyte-gated FETs for the detection of cortisol.

Field effect transistors (FETs) have emerged to be an attractive platform for the accurate and rapid detection of biological moieties. The gating effect in a FET when applied through an electrolyte further improves the device sensitivity and response time. The present work involves two aspects for devising an electrolyte-gated FET (EGFET) based platform for the detection of cortisol.
