Coupled Chemical Reactions in Dynamic Nanometric Confinement: VIII. Capacitive Discharges in Nuclear Track-Based Biosensing

Abstract The historical capacitor concept is applied here to form polymeric swift heavy ion track-based pulsed biosensors. Due to the accumulation of charged enzymatic reaction products over a given time and their sudden pulse-wise release the sensors may obtain a detection sensitivity that exceeds that of earlier constant-current sensors by far
