Abstract :
A Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor platform based on phononic crystals specifically designed for chemical and biosensing will be introduced. The unique feature of this sensor concept is the possibility to determine volumetric properties of analytes at volume as low as 1 nl. The sensor platform has the capability paving the way to study chemical reactions in microreactors or biomaterials directly in their physiological environment without any label.
