Nonuniform mass detection using magnetostrictive biosensors operating under multiple harmonic resonance modes

Abstract: A mechanical resonator made of a freestanding magnetostrictive strip as a mass sensor is used as the sensor platform for the development of biosensors. It is found that these sensors have a Q value in air (∼1000) and water (>100). The mass sensitivity of the sensor is strongly dependent on the location of the mass load. For the mass load at node(s), a close to zero sensitivity is obtained. However, for the mass load at the points with the maximum oscillation amplitude, the highest sensitivity is obtaine… Show more

“…It is assumed that the shift in the resonance frequency is dependent on the vibration amplitude of the location at which the mass load is attached [4]. Therefore, the sensitivity of an MSP is dependent on the x following Equation (3).…”

“…Compared with MSMCs, MSPs have a higher Q values and a better sensitivity. In addition, due to the nature of free standing, an MSP sensor is able to overcome the blind point issue to achieve a higher mass sensitivity [4]. The fundamentals of MSP resonators are studied in this paper.…”

“…Li et al and Ramasamy et al investigated the effect of mass load with symmetric distribution on the mass sensitivity of an MSP biosensor. 13,14 In particular, when the mass loading (e.g. bacteria) is applied to the node of resonance (also called "blind point") of an MSP biosensor, zero mass sensitivity is obtained whereas Li et al proposed a way to address the "blind point" issue by measuring multiple order resonance frequencies.…”

“…bacteria) is applied to the node of resonance (also called "blind point") of an MSP biosensor, zero mass sensitivity is obtained whereas Li et al proposed a way to address the "blind point" issue by measuring multiple order resonance frequencies. 13 However, there has been little work investigating the mass sensitivity for the mass load with asymmetry distribution. Particularly, for the case of direct detection of bacteria on food surface, the complicated food surface morphology, for example, egg shell surface may lead to asymmetric contact with an MSP based biosensor and thus cause asymmetric binding of bacteria.…”
