Abstract
A sensor system () for measuring an electrical signal across a lipid bilayer is formed by a cell () and an electrical reader unit () which are connectable together. The cell () is capable of supporting a lipid bilayer across an aperture () in a membrane () and has a construction which is cheap to manufacture. The reader unit () is a portable device which monitors an electrical signal generated in the connected cell () to allow analysis of that electrical signal. The sensor system () is intended for use outside of a laboratory setting.
