Abstract: Provided herein is a biosensor suitable for use in measuring membrane fluidity or membrane permeability. The biosensor is formed of a solid substrate having a lipid bilayer compatible surface and a multi-lamellar lipid membrane structure localized on the lipid bilayer compatible surface. The multi-lamellar lipid membrane structure can be derived from a biological cell further comprising one or more synthetic lipids. An electrode forming all or part of the lipid bilayer compatible surface may be used to detect disruptions in the lipid membrane structure and hemolytic activity in a test sample.

Abstract: A biosensor detector device is disclosed suitable for use in measuring membrane fluidity or membrane permeability. The biosensor detector device is formed of a solid substrate having a lipid bilayer compatible surface, a multi-lamellar lipid membrane structure derived from a biological cell and localized on the lipid bilayer compatible surface, an aqueous layer interposed between each lipid bilayer of the multi-lamellar lipid membrane structure. The biological membrane is derived from human red blood cells and localized on the lipid bilayer compatible surface. An electrode forming all or part of the lipid bilayer compatible surface may be used to detect disruptions in the multi-lamellar lipid membrane structure and hemolytic activity in a test sample.
