| 20100291711 | INTEGRATED SENSOR MICROSYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING BIOMOLECULES IN LIQUID - An integrated microsystem for detecting biomolecules is made up of a micropump for delivering a sample, a microsensor for detecting the presence of a target biomolecule in the sample, a microheater for maintaining the temperature of operation, a microcontroller for regulating the sample delivery and a signal processor for analyzing the sensor signal. A single wall carbon nanotube based biological sensor can be used as the microsensor. The single wall carbon nanotube based sensor can either have a chance in conductance based on the presence and/or quantity of the target biomolecule or quantify the mass uptake of the sensor matrix. | 11-18-2010 |
