We proposed the detection method of pH variations by integrating a photocurrent characteristic curve, instead of finding an inflection point by differentiating it in LAPS system. By a simulation of the performance of the proposed method, we verified that it had 80 and 1000 times higher sensitivity and resolution than a conventional method. Then, with the implemented system based on the simulation results, we measured a pH variation which was given rise to a potential change on the LAPS surface exposed to 2-0.03125[mg/ml] enzyme solutions. As results, we observed that the proposed method has a higher sensitivity and resolution of 3.76-0.08[pH/min] pH variations than 3.79-0.27[pH/min] for conventional method with same samples.
