Ion Selective Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)

 

 

Ion Selective Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) is a type of electrode that contains a transistor coated with a chemically sensitive material to measure pH in solution and moist surfaces. As the potential at the chemically active surface changes with the pH, the current induced through the transistor varies. A temperature diode with the Ion Selective Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) simultaneously monitors the temperature at the sensing surface. The changes in current and temperature are correlated by the pH meter to a temperature compensated pH reading.
