Love-wave biosensors using cross-linked polymer waveguides on LiTaO3 substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and performance of Love-wave sensors using cross-linked poly(methyl methacrylate) waveguides of thicknesses of 0.3 to 3.2μm on LiTaO3 substrates are described. It is found that this layer-substrate combination provides sufficient waveguidance and electrical isolation of the interdigital transducers from the liquid environment to achieve low acoustic loss and distortion. In biosensing experiments, mass sensitivity up to 1420Hz/(ng/mm2) is demonstrated.

Sensitivity of the acoustic waveguide biosensor to protein binding as a function of the waveguide properties.
The aim of this work is to study the effect of operating frequency, piezoelectric substrate and waveguide layer thickness on the sensitivity of the acoustic waveguide sensor during the specific binding of an antibody by a protein. Shear horizontal (SH) wave devices consisting of (a) a LiTaO3 substrate operating at 104 MHz, (b) a quartz substrate operating at 108 MHz and (c) a quartz substrate o...

متن کاملSurface acoustic wave biosensors: a review.
This review presents an overview of 20 years of worldwide development in the field of biosensors based on special types of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices that permit the highly sensitive detection of biorelevant molecules in liquid media (such as water or aqueous buffer solutions). 1987 saw the first approaches, which used either horizontally polarized shear waves (HPSW) in a delay line co...
متن کاملPulse mode shear horizontal-surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) system for liquid based sensing applications.
In this work, we describe a novel pulse mode shear horizontal-surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) polymer coated biosensor that monitors rapid changes in both amplitude and phase. The SH-SAW sensors were fabricated on 36 degrees rotated Y-cut X propagating lithium tantalate (36 YX.LT). The sensitivity of the device to both mass loading and visco-elastic effects may be increased by using a thin guidi...
متن کاملPorous Polymer Waveguides and Ring Resonators CNF
Label-free optical biosensors are particularly interesting because of their ability to tightly confine light while avoiding complications often associated with label dependent detection. However, many traditional optical biosensors often store the majority of their optical energy in the waveguide core, leaving only the evanescent field to interact with biomolecules. In this work we develop nano...
