Abstract

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have come into existence in the 1990s. Microcantilevers are highly simplified MEMS devices that have been used for diversified applications to detect biomolecules, microorganisms, chemicals, and gaseous analytes. For multiplexing, a miniaturized biochip for various analytes has also been demonstrated using an array of microcantilevers. The development of nanocantilevers has further scaled down the technology and considerably improved the detection sensitivity.
