Abstract
A sensor includes a bio-recognition module and a transducer module having a dock sized and shaped to receive the bio-recognition module. The bio-recognition modules comprise a hydrogel matrix having bio-recognition elements embedded therein. The bio-recognition elements cause a particular biochemical input to engage in an interaction that generates a perturbation in an electric field within the bio-recognition module. The transducer module transduces this perturbation into an electrical signal that is provided at an output of the transducer module. This electrical signal indicates occurrence of the interaction.
