The cantilever body is enclosed inside a hydrophobic parylene shell, and a ring-shaped hydrophobic slit is designed to prevent the solution leak inside the shell, allowing the cantilever structure keeps high-Q resonance in air while the binding sensing pool is exposed to aqueous solution for the biological binding. The resonant cantilever continuously records the frequency-shift according to the binding induced mass change on the cantilever. The frequency signal is useful for revealing kinetic/thermodynamic mechanism of the interface binding by fitting the detected sensorgram with classic equations. This detection strategy is label-free and calibration-free, with all the measurement completed using one device to avoid system error.","PeriodicalId":6776,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 33rd International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)","volume":"75 1","pages":"88-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86273885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we demonstrated an example of cell manipulation by using this method. We made a flow channel for cell transportation by irradiating light.
