Abstract :
The paper presents the first stem cell microelectrode devices designed to stem cell differentiation utilizing modified SAW devices as the primary instrument. This device is deposited by a layer of inert material, SiO2, to decrease the elastic effect and contamination. ELISA tests have demonstrated that the immobilize antibody perform optimally for immune activation. The novel MEMS geometry which inert material for a complete stem cell differentiation retains the mass loading change though depressing some signals from SAW.
