quiz 4 Flashcards
Acoustic wave bio sensors are based on what physical property
Mass change (advantageous because it does not involve labels)
Two types of acoustic waves
Bulk (BAW) & surface (SAW)
What is the most common BAW sensor
TSM resonator
- made up for an AT(Bulk) and BT(surface) cut
What is the Pieozoeletric effect
Create eletric polarization when under mechanical stress
thickness shear deformation crystal
when dc voltage is applied ossilation
- when AC
- ossilation is perpendicular
when does a standing wave occur
when frequency is twice the crystal thickness
Two challeneges for QCM
- gas bubbles
- must be reusable
two QCM operation modes
Flow through- constant flow rate till equilibrium
Flow injection- less reliable quick bursts of sample
how can you increase mass sensitvity
use a thinner device but then it is harder to manufacture and easier to break
4 ways to describe Biosensors
- Type of Cut( AT, BT, ST)
- Material
- Location of the transducer
- Type of transducer
Basic principle of a SLAW device
- St cut
- uses two electrodes (IDTs) on one surface for detection
4 SLAW devices
SAW, FPW, SH-APM, STW
SAW
- not very good for liquids
- partical motion in longitudinal and sheer
STW
- most suitable for liquids
- high frequency results in small penetration making is better at sensing small particles
What is the physical property for micro-cantilever biosensors
induced stress
