BioMEMS Inetegration of life science/biomedical Disciplines with micro- and nano- Scale systems and materials.
BioMEMS Biosensors Materials used for fabrication Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biologically sensitive Element with a physical or chemical transducer to selectively and quan- Titatively detect the presence of specific compounds in a given external environment.
BioMEMS Biosensor—Mechanical detection Mass mode cantilever sensor Stress mode cantilever sensor
BioMEMS Biosensor-- Electrical detection Potentio, measures the potential at an electrode in reference to another Ampero, monitors formation of H+ in a redox process Conducto, measures the changes in Electrical impedance between 2 electrodes. Both ampero- and potentio- need reference electrodes, which makes the fabrication difficult. Conducto- does not.
BioMEMS Biosensor-- Optical detection Based on fluorescence or chemiluminescence. Fluorescence- fluorescent markers emits light at specific wavelengths, thus any change in optical signal indicates a binding reaction. Chemiluminescence- light is generated by the release of energy as a result of a chemical reaction. Cited paper R.
