Chemical sensing microbeam device

摘要

A sensing device for detecting an analyte comprising at least one geometrical structure, at least two clamps provided for clamping the at least one geometrical structure on at least two ends of the geometrical structure, the at least one geometrical structure comprising at least one chemical responsive layer being absorbent or adsorbent for the analyte, a support structure provided for at least partly supporting the at least one chemical responsive layer, wherein the at least one chemical responsive layer has a varying effective spring constant which changes upon absorption or adsorption of the analyte.
