Development of Nanomechanical Sensors for Environmental Contaminate Screening Using Protein Functionalized Microcantilevers

The development of real time, label-free biosensors based on ligand-induced nanomechanical responses of microcantilevers (MCs) allows for sensitive and selective detection. High sensitivity is afforded by the MCs small dimensions. Immobilizing biomolecular recognition phases imparts selectivity fr...
