ABSTRACT:
Microcantilevers have been researched and used for more than a decade for ultra resolution biological and chemical sensing due to low cost, high precision, portability, robustness and reliability. Such device has the ability to be made sensitive to specific analytes through a process called functionalization. Applying cantilevers into an integrated, compact array of sensors will make it able to sense multiple analytes simultaneously and significantly improved statistic of detections. In this project, microfluidics will be used to achieve different functionalizations of cantilever’s beam. Microfluidics employs extremely small channels to control the flow and isolate specific chemical species on a chip. Operation of micro/nanocantilever sensors significantly depends on....
