A Multi-Parameter Decoupling Method with a Lamb Wave Sensor for Improving the Selectivity of Label-Free Liquid Detection †

چکیده
In this paper, a liquid multi-parameter decoupling method with only one Lamb wave sensor is presented. In a Lamb wave sensor, antisymmetric modes (A(01) mode for low frequency, A(03) mode for high frequency) and symmetric modes (S(0) mode) are used to detect multiple parameters of a liquid, such as its density, sound velocity, and viscosity. We found they can play very different roles in the detections. For example, the A(01) mode is very sensitive to the liquid's density but the A(03) mode is sensitive to the sound velocity. Here, the A(0) mode is used to identify the density of the detected liquid and with this density value we obtained the viscosity by the amplitude shifts of the S(0) mode. This could be a way to distinguish an unknown liquid with high sensitivity or to solve the problem of selectivity of label-free detection on biosensors.

Viscosity and density decoupling method using a higher order Lamb wave sensor
Viscosity and density are two important physical parameters of liquid. Such parameters are widely used for label-free chemical detection. Conventional technologies employ acoustic wave sensors to detect viscosity and density. In these sensors, the liquid under test directly contacts with the surface of the sensor. The produced acoustic wave in the sensor leaks to the adjacent liquid layer, caus...
