We herein propose a novel sensing strategy for biogenic amines using an electrolyte-gated polythiophene transistor. This ultra-low voltage operatable device responds to amines on the basis of the molecular recognition ability of a polythiophene pendant with a carboxy side-chain, which indicates that the sensing platform can contribute to the realisation of easy-to-fabricate and integrated chemical sensors.
