A device for detecting an analyte in a sample comprising an active layer comprising at least a dielectric material, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a semiconducting substrate which acts as current pathway between source and drain. The conductivity of said semiconducting layer can be influenced by the interaction of the active layer with the sample containing the analyte to detect. The device is fabricated such that properties like low price, disposability, reduced drift of the device and suitability for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications are obtained. To fulfill these requirements, the device described in this application will be based on organic-containing materials.
