Abstract
Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is widely used as essential seasoning in food, snacks and deserts worldwide. However, excessive consumption of table salt is a major cause of various health issues, involving high blood pressure, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, and heart failure. This research aims at creating a portable, low-powered, efficient sensor for detection of sodium ions in body plasma for medical diagnosis purpose. The device was fabricated on a platform of Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor (ISFET) modified with sodium ionophore (sodium recognizing element), entrapped in polyurethane thin film. Our preliminary studies show that sodium ionophore-modified ISFET sensor yields good sensing performances, having a maximum sensitivity of 43 mV/pNa, and a detection limit of 2.3 millimol/liter.
