Book Micro and Nanoelectromechanical Biosensors

Download or read book Micro and Nanoelectromechanical Biosensors written by Liviu Nicu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-01-17 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books dedicated to the issues of bio-sensing are organized by the well-known scheme of a biosensor. In this book, the authors have deliberately decided to break away from the conventional way of treating biosensing research by uniquely addressing biomolecule immobilization methods on a solid surface, fluidics issues and biosensing-related transduction techniques, rather than focusing simply on the biosensor. The aim is to provide a contemporary snapshot of the biosensing landscape without neglecting the seminal references or products where needed, following the downscaling (from the micro- to the nanoscale) of biosensors and their respective best known applications. To conclude, a brief overview of the most popularized nanodevices applied to biology is given, before comparing biosensor criteria in terms of targeted applications.

Book The Physics Behind and Biosensing Applications of Resonant Micro  and Nanomechanical Sensors

Download or read book The Physics Behind and Biosensing Applications of Resonant Micro and Nanomechanical Sensors written by Philip Sutton Waggoner and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research presented herein focuses on the use of micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) as mechanical resonators employed as sensors. The thesis describes the physical mechanisms underlying their use as sensors and demonstrates their utility in biosensing applications. This field is developing in the wake of the inception and widespread propagation of MEMS devices and scanned probe microscopies like atomic force or scanning tunneling microscopy. Recently there has been growing interest in their application to biological systems and the detection of low concentrations of biomolecules, where they could enable novel or deeper understandings of these systems or the onset and progression of disease. In order to push the limits of sensitivity to such levels, a full understanding of the sensing mechanisms is needed which, once attained, will shed light on appropriate sensor design parameters, materials, functional pattering, and the use of higher resonant modes. Two key themes that emerge from this work are the effect of device geometry and device optimization for use as biosensors. Especially important are the demonstrated applications of non-cantilever geometries and the results suggesting that these devices are also more sensitive and quantitative than cantilevers when the number of bound analytes on a device becomes very small. For biosensing applications, a "secondary mass labeling" technique has been developed that greatly improves device sensitivity to lightweight biomolecules specifically bound to the resonant sensors by effectively amplifying the mass of the analyte. After motivating the use of these sensors and providing a detailed discussion of the technology in general in Chapters 1 and 2, the experimental details of device fabrication and use are described in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 features in-depth discussion of the mathematical derivations and physics underlying the operation of these devices as sensors. Then in Chapter 5, the preparation of these devices for biosensing is described, and two realistic examples are demonstrated for the detection of prion proteins and prostate specific antigen. Together with the high device yield and rapid readout of devices, the results presented herein show great promise for real applications of this technology in medicine or other applications.

Book Biosensing with Silicon

Download or read book Biosensing with Silicon written by Enakshi Bhattacharya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses two silicon biosensors: an electrochemical sensor – the Electrolyte Insulator Silicon Capacitor (EISCAP), and a mechanical resonant cantilever sensor. The author presents the principle and the technology behind the device fabrication and miniaturization, stable and reproducible functionalization protocols for bioreceptor immobilization, and the measurement and the data analysis for extracting the best performance from these sensors. EISCAP sensors, used for the estimation of triglycerides and urea, have been improved through the use of micromachining processes. The miniaturization brought out advantages as well as challenges which are discussed in this book, resulting in a prototype mini-EISCAP with a readout circuit for fast and accurate estimation of triglycerides. The author also reports on the sensitivity improvements in the estimation of triglycerides and urea obtained with the polycrystalline silicon cantilever and its measurements in liquid media. The book is ideal for materials scientists and engineers working in the field of biosensors and MicroElectroMechanical systems (MEMS) and their optimizations, as well as researchers with biochemical or biomedical expertise, in order to have a fresh and updated review on the last progresses reached with EISCAPs and cantilever sensors.
