Cantilever technology The cantilever is made in micro structured silicon, using standard techniques from microelectronics The cantilever is placed in a micro flow channel that presents the sample to the cantilever The incorporated piezo resistor is an electrical element that changes its electrical resistance depending on the stress induced in to the resistor The sensor chip is placed in a plastic flow cartridge to ease the handling for the user. The signal from the sensor chip registers a change in the resistance of the piezo resistor When molecules bind to the detection molecules on the cantilever, this will induce a surface stress and the cantilever will bend. |
