The invention comprises a method and apparatus for depositing conducting polymer films for use in gas sensing applications and an apparatus for measuring resistance changes in thin conducting polymer films and gas sensing applications. It provides a method which enables a thin polymer film of controlled resistance to be deposited on a microelectrode array to form a resistance probe, and a method for operating such a gas sensing array in which the effect of self-heating of the film can be minimized or avoided and inherent l/f sensor noise minimised.
