Abstract

We have used embedded piezoresistive microcantilever (EPM) sensors in the detection of volatile organic compounds, industrial chemicals, and biological molecules. The EPM design incorporates a tiny piezoresistive microcantilever embedded or partially embedded into a material sensing layer. The sensing layer material is chosen so as to react to the desired analyte(s), and undergo a minute volumetric or vertical shift in dimension. In the present paper, we present results on the sensing of various VOC's, vaccinia virus in solution, carbon tetrachloride in vapor, and osmolality in human subjects.
