Drift and Hysteresis Characteristics of Drug Sensors Based on Ruthenium Dioxide Membrane

The drug sensing properties of procaine and berberine drug sensors based on ruthenium dioxide thin film were investigated. Ruthenium dioxide (RuO(2)) membrane prepared using a sputtering method was used as substrates for the drug sensors. The procaine and berberine drug sensors were prepared using a drug-saensitive membrane that measured the procaine and berberine concentration in a linear range from 1×10(-2) M to 1×10(-6) M and from 1×10(-2) M to 1×10(-7) M, respectively. The drift rates and hyteresis widths of these ruthenium dioxide based drug sensors were also investigated.
