Abstract
A measuring device (,) for measuring or investigating physiological parameters using biological cells or chemical and biologically active substances contained in an analyte (,). The measuring device comprises a sensor (,) with an electronic measurement structure (,) located on a substrate (,). Function-specific receptor cells and/or target cells (,) form part of the sensor (,) and are in direct contact with the measurement structure (,). For measurement, the medium under investigation can be brought into contact with the target cells or receptor cells (,). The measuring device (,) is especially compact in its design and facilitates largely feedback-free investigation of biological or chemical components contained in the analyte.
