Abstract

Biosensor Microcantilever Trimethylamine
We report a biosensor based on a microcantilever that is modified by a specific peptide for highly selective detection of trimethylamine (TMA). The assay is based on binding-induced bending of the peptide functionalized microcantilevers. The sensor is selectively responsive to TMA. The amplitude of microcantilever bending at equilibrium is a function of the concentration of TMA with a dynamic range from 8 ppm to 800 ppm. The detection limit is approximately 8 ppm. There is a good intra-sensor and an acceptable inter-sensor reproducibility as evidenced by the standard deviation of 5% and 15%, respectively.
