Biosensors Made from Carbon and Polymer Composite Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS)

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop a new class of biosensors using carbon and polymer based micro- electromechanical systems (MEMS). This interim report discusses the progress to date on the individual tasks outlined in the proposal. Progress has included a study to engineer the appropriate carbon/polymerimetal cluster compositions which have vibration sensitive electronic properties. Initial imaging of structures created using microlithography and imaging of the carbon composite, biocompatible surface were done with SEM and AFM respectively. The methodology used for building antibody microarrays to detect specific molecular binding events was demonstrated. Preliminary work on a prototype for an antigen collection system has been accomplished.
