“…In addition, the wave guide layer in the Love mode biosensor could, in principle, also protect and insulate the IDT from the liquid media which might otherwise be detrimental to the electrode. Therefore, they are frequently utilized to perform bio-sensing in liquid conditions (Lindner, 2008;Jacoby & Vellekoop, 1997;Bisoffi et al, 2008;Andrä et al, 2008;Moll et al, 2007Moll et al, , 2008Branch & Brozik, 2004;Tamarin et al, 2003;Howe & Harding, 2000), arising as the most promising SGAW device for this purpose due to its high mass sensitivity and electrode isolation characteristics from liquid media (Rocha-Gaso et al, 2009;Francis et al, 2005). The mass sensitivity of LW sensors can be evaluated by different techniques based on incremental modifications of the surface density on the sensing area of the device (Francis et al, 2004).…”
