I am trying to measure the change in resistance with varying protein concentration to detect the protein-protein binding with a carbon nanotube based chemiresistor. I am getting erratic responses when I am washing probe-functionalized CNT with PB in between 2 consecutive sample incubation. Should I dry the transducing nanoparticle completely before taking the electrical measurement or is it okay if there are some moisture left on the cnt when I measure the resistance? Does moisture play a vital role on the p-doped CNT during the resistance measurement? Any reference article also would be very helpful. Thanks.
