The present invention relates to a method for staining membranes, in particular, a method for selective staining of cells using voltage-sensitive dyes.

Selective staining of biomembranes using voltage-sensitive dyes

Biochip for capacitive stimulation and/or detection of biological tissues. The biochip has a carrier structure, at least one stimulation and/or sensor device, which is arranged in or at the carrier structure, and at least one dielectric layer, one layer area of which is arranged at the stimulation and/or sensor device and the opposite layer area of which forms a stimulation and/or sensor area for capacitive simulation and/or detection of biological tissues, wherein the dielectric layer comprises TiO.

CMOS-process compatible high-DC surface coating for capacitive detection and stimulation of biological tissues

The present invention relates to a method and a device for screening with cells immobilized on electrodes by using a low-salt medium. In particular, a method is disclosed for determining whether a substance is a modulator of a target component in a cell immobilized on an electrode.

Measurement device and method for screening with cells immobilized on electrodes

The present invention relates to bioelectronic devices comprising living cells which are in operative contact with an extracellular planar potential-sensitive electrode, e.g. a field effect transistor. The cells comprise an ion channel/receptor system which is responsive to stimuli. Thus, the device is suitable as a bioelectronic sensor. The electrode may also have a capacitive stimulating spot, with which the electrical or functional state of the cell or its ion channel/receptor system may be affected.

Signal recording of a receptor-effector-system by an extracellular planar potential-sensitive electrode

The present invention relates to bioelectronic devices comprising lipid vesicles which are in contact with a chip, particularly with at least one gate of a field effect transistor. The vesicles/bilayers may comprise effector molecules in their membrane and thus are suitable as bioelectronic sensors. The chip may also have a capacitive stimulating spot, with which the electrical or functional state of the membrane or its incorporated molecules may be affected.
