Abstract
Electroanalytical elements are provided involving a polarity-sensitive layer; a first lipid layer non-diffusively bound to said polarity-sensitive layer; and, a second amphiphilic layer, with hydrophilic heads distal from said first lipid layer and defining a polar layer which interacts with said polarity-sensitive layer. The device is used in polar media to detect variations in the electrostatic interaction between the polar layer and the polarity-sensitive layer.
