MINIATURIZED INTEGRATED MICRO ELECTO-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS (MEMS) OPTICAL SENSOR ARRAY FOR VISCOSITY AND MASS DETECTION

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the field of chemical and biological sensors and in particular to micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors for measuring fluid viscosity and detection of minute amounts of chemicals and biological agents in fluids. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sensor that will work in disposable cartridges with remote sensing that can measure dynamic changes of the functionalized cantilevers in liquid and gas environment.
