A novel integrated microfluidic platform based on micro-magnetic sensor for magnetic bead manipulation and detection

We present a novel integrated microfluidic platform based on micro-magnetic sensor for manipulating and detecting magnetic beads (MB). A micro-spiral planar coil in MB manipulating system microfabricated by micro-electro-mechanical system technology is implemented to manipulate MB, and a giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) based micro-magnetic sensor is employed to detect the trapped MB. In our work, MB can be efficiently trapped by trapping force generated from micro-coil in microchannel. Next, trapped MB are detected by the changing ratio of impedance, as well as the variation of resistance and reactance in GMI sensor for trapped MB induce weak stray magnetic field under the magnetization by external magnetic field. The maximum difference of GMI ratio between with beads condition and without beads condition is 4.0% at the optimum driving frequency of 20 MHz under the external magnetic field of 15 Oe, and resistance ratio varies more significantly than reactance ratio. In comparison with traditional MB detecting methods by GMI sensor, the integrated microfluidic platform based on GMI sensor can not only manipulate and detect MB signal sensitively, but also enhance detection efficiency and decrease the experiment errors. Furthermore, this platform avoids contamination from the solutions in chemically reactive layers and reduces assay time in future biomarker detection. In our work, the microfluidic platform based on GMI sensor has potential applications in biomarker detection via MB manipulation and detection.     

Dynamic behavior of resonant piezoelectric cantilever as liquid level detection sensor

Resonant Piezoelectric-excited Millimeter-sized Cantilevers (PEMC), has attracted many researchers’ interest in the applications such as liquid level and density sensing. As in these applications, the PEMC are partially immersed in liquid, an appropriate analytical model is needed to predict the dynamic behavior of these devices. In this work, a PEMC has been fabricated for liquid level sensing. An analytical model based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and energy method is developed and applied to evaluate the performance of this device with respect to different tip immersion depth. To validate the proposed model, the theoretical results are compared with the experimental results for the tip immersion depth from 5 to 15?mm in water. The simulation results are in almost good agreement with experimental data. Using the proposed model, the two key parameters of sensor performance: sensitivity and working range have been examined for different mode shapes of PEMC vibration.

A trapezoidal cantilever density sensor based on MEMS technology

A trapezoidal cantilever density sensor is developed based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The sensor measures fluid density through the relationship between the density and the resonant frequency of the cantilever immersed in the fluid. To improve the sensitivity of the sensor, the modal and harmonic response analyses of trapezoidal and rectangular cantilevers are simulated by ANSYS software. The higher the resonant frequency of the cantilever immersed in the fluid, the higher the sensitivity of the sensor; the higher the resonant strain value, the easier the detection of the output signal of the sensor. Based on the results of simulation, the trapezoidal cantilever is selected to measure the densities of dimethyl silicone and toluene at the temperature ranges of 30 to 55 °C and 26 to 34 °C, respectively. Experimental results show that the trapezoidal cantilever density sensor has a good performance.

MEMS cantilever sensor for non-destructive metrology within high-aspect-ratio micro holes

Tactile metrology with deep and narrow micro holes was addressed using extremely slender piezoresistive micro cantilever sensors. Linear strain–displacement characteristics were observed with this sensor operated under transversal and axial loading. From noise, non-linearity and repeatability measurements the resolution and uncertainty of the cantilever sensors were determined to few nm and few tens of nm, respectively, within a micron displacement span. Under axial loading buckling of the cantilevers was observed after exceeding the critical limit of an Euler beam under the boundary conditions of a clamped-pinned beam. The cantilevers typically survived displacements well above the buckling limit, i.e., fracture of 3-mm long cantilevers was only observed at displacements of more than 200 μm. The feasibility of the cantilever as an active 1D touch probe for high-aspect-ratio blind holes was demonstrated at a dry-etched silicon high-aspect-ratio microstructure. As an application example with a high-volume product we investigated the form and roughness of diesel injector nozzle spray holes.
