PEDOT:PSS organic electrochemical transistor arrays for extracellular electrophysiological sensing of cardiac cells.

Electrophysiological biosensors embedded in planar devices represent a state of the art approach to measure and evaluate the electrical activity of biological systems. This measurement method allows for the testing of drugs and their influences on cells or tissues, cytotoxicity, as well as the direct implementation into biological systems in vivo for signal transduction. Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) with metal or metal-like electrodes on glass substrates are one of the most common, well-established platforms for this purpose.
