Vertically Integrated MEMS SOI Composite Porous Silicon-Crystalline Silicon Cantilever-Array Sensors: Concept for Continuous Sensing of Explosives and Warfare Agents

Detection of Alkylating Agents Using Optical, Electrical and Mechanical Means

“…Different groups have reported the ability to detect different chemical substances, including explosives and warfare agents (Stolyarova et al, 2010). Micro-cantilever based systems also allow label-free (Raorane et al, 2008) real time monitoring of chemical and biological processes such as sequence specific DNA hybridization (Wu et al, 2001) and drug-target binding interactions (Ndieyira et al, 2008).…”

Isotope Effect in the Interaction between Gas-Phase Isotopologues and Polymer-Coated Porous Silicon Over Silicon Microcantilevers

“…Microcantilevers have gained much attention in recent years as a promising platform for biomechanical as well as chemomechanical sensors. − Different groups have reported the ability to detect different chemical substances, including explosives and warfare agents. , Microcantilever-based systems also allow label-free , real-time monitoring of chemical and biological processes such as sequence specific DNA hybridization and drug-target binding interactions . Recently, because of their high sensitivity, microcantilevers have been used to measure the physical properties of polymers near their glass transition temperature. , …”
