Single Input, Single Output Sensor For Rapid Detection Of Multiple Analytes
- Technology Benefits
- Small size and high sensitivity Simpler to implement than existing sensor arrays
- Technology Application
- Resonant array-based detection STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT: A prototype has been constructed. The induced resonance shifts corresponding to mass loading have been successfully detected, thus the operational concept of the invention has been verified. This technology is available for licensing.
- Detailed Technology Description
- Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a novel sensor design that couples the inherent benefits of a sensor array with those of a single input, single output (SISO) system. This particular architecture allows for rapid detection and identification of multiple analytes on a single platform in an efficient manner. The invention is simpler to implement than existing sensor arrays, yet maintains similar performance characteristics, it could become the standard for resonant array-based detection.

- *Abstract
-
Chemical and biological sensors based on microresonators have been considered viable alternatives to modern sensing systems for some time, undoubtedly because they consume less power and space than their macroscale counterparts. Existing sensors require the measurement of the response of an individual resonator for the detection of a specific compound, or a class of compounds. Large sensor arrays composed of isolated microresonators can be used to broaden detection capabilities, but the addition of the attendant electronics (arising from a larger number of system outputs) adds to the complexity of such sensors.
