Abstract
We summarize our recent work with piezoelectric-excited millimeter-sized cantilever (PEMC) sensor for detecting biological agents that may be used as biothreat agents. PEMC sensors immobilized with an antibody specific to the target agent is shown to be very highly sensitive for detecting 10 - 100 biothreat agents (Bacillus anthracis spores, E. coli O157:H7), both in buffers and in food matrices. After a brief introduction to the principles of sensing and response characteristics of PEMC sensors, results from detection experiments are described.
