An Acoustic Plate Mode Sensor for Biowarfare Toxins, Phase II

Abstract

This report details the design, evaluation and experimental data obtained during the first fiscal year of the contract. Results are presented in five areas. (1) The covalent attachment of immunoglobulin G (IgG) to gold surfaces and the supporting surface chemical analysis; (2) the design and evaluation of the piezoelectric sensors; (3) the design and evaluation of the measurement electronics; (4) the design and construction of a microprocessor-based user interface; and (5) the discussion of preliminary biosensor data. A stable and reusable attachment procedure is obtained using poly-(propylmercapto methyl siloxane) and thioalkylated antibody.
