For integration in miniaturized devices, microfabricated electrodes have been tested for use in these applications in a range of different materials. Here, we investigate the potential of the conducting polymer Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):tosylate (Pedot:tosylate) for neurochemicaldetection. Band electrodes were fabricated with widths down to 3 µm using UV lithographic methods and a range of transmitters were shown to oxidize readily on the electrodes. Electrochemical and physical properties of the electrodes are reported, including potential limits, resistance, capacitance, kinetic rate constants and half wave potentials. Finally, we use constant potential amperometry and Pedot:tosylate electrodes to measure the release of neurotransmitters from a group of PC 12 cells.Figure 3: Cyclic voltammograms showing the oxidation of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI) at a 12 µm X 6000 µm Pedot:tosylate electrode. Scan rate 1 mV/s. Concentration 20 µM. Figure 5: Amperometric responses resulting from neurotransmitter release from a group of PC 12 cells at a Pedot:tosylate electrode. The cells were alternately exposed to a K+-rich buffer for 3 minutes and a low K+ buffer for 4 minutes. The highest response resulted from the first stimulation by a K+-rich buffer. Subsequent stimulations resulted in decreasing current responses.Simon Tylsgaard Larsen PhD Student sitl@nanotech.dtu.dkFigure 2: PC 12 cells sedimented on a 7 µm wide Pedot:tosylate electrode.DTU Nanotech Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology Technical University of Denmarkwww.nanotech.dtu.dkFigure 1: The chemical structure of a) positively charged Pedotand b) negatively charged tosylate counter ionFigure 2: Cyclic voltammograms showing the background current towards an Ag/AgCl reference electrode for a Pedot:tosylate electrode in PBS buffer.
