Adjacent first and second transistors are integrated with a substrate. Each of the first and second transistors has a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a semiconductive channel formed of an organic material, the semiconductive channel electrically coupling the source electrode with the drain electrode. The source electrode of the first transistor is electrically coupled to the source electrode of the second transistor. A molecular receptor is bound directly to a surface of the semiconductive channel of the first transistor. A non-zero offset voltage, which produces equal channel currents in the semiconductive channels of the first and second transistors after a molecule has bound with the molecular receptor without a like binding event proximate to the second transistor, is sensed between the gate electrodes of the first and second transistors.

A target molecule at a binding site is detected using an optical waveguide having a surface proximate to the binding site, and a waveguide detector coupled to the optical waveguide. An incident light beam is applied to the binding site along an axis transverse to the surface of the optical waveguide. The incident light beam impinges an optical indicator associated with the target molecule to form secondary light which is coupled into the optical waveguide. The secondary light is detected by the waveguide detector to thereby detect the target molecule.
