Claim:
1. A device capable of sensing a biological interaction, wherein the device comprises a substrate having a surface and a field effect transistor wherein the field effect transistor has a sensing surface and the sensing surface is in the substrate surface and wherein the field effect transistor is capable of sensing the occurrence of biological events at the sensing surface and wherein the biological events are an occurrence of an enzymatic catalytic reaction, a first module capable of generating electromagnetic radiation having a frequency in the microwave or radiofrequency range housed in the substrate, wherein the first module comprises a transmitting element connected to a circuit to cause the production of microwave or radiofrequency radiation by the transmitting element, and a second module for causing the first module capable of generating electromagnetic radiation to irradiate the sensing surface with a known frequency of microwave or radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation wherein the known frequency of microwave or radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation is selected to enhance a signal obtained by the field effect transistor for a molecule to be detected relative to molecules that are not to be detected; and an enzyme on the sensing surface capable of catalyzing a chemical reaction in the presence of a target analyte.
