Abstract
Field effect transistors (FET) based on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) become the hot topic in fields of nano-electronic, clinical diagnostics, environmental testing etc. in recent years. In this paper, we reported a simple, scalable way to enrich semiconducting SWNTs by using HNO 3 /H 2 SO 4 . Then carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFET) biosensor was fabricated with the enrichment SWNTs for Escherichia coli O157 ︰ H7 detection. The response of each CNTFET was monitored in real time before and after introduction of the Escherichia coli O157 ︰ H7 at various concentrations. The results show that CNT-FET biosensors we fabricated are sensitive to change of concentration of solution and response time is really short.
