Acoustic Biosensors: Principles, Types, and Applications
Week 6: Acoustic Biosensors
The principle behind acoustic biosensors is based on a mechanical wave propagating through piezoelectric or other materials. Any material changes at the surface will modify the wave’s propagation path, altering the electrical response of the sensor.
A key advantage of acoustic sensing is its ability to offer real-time measurement of surface interactions, which is particularly useful in studying protein binding events and immunochemical reactions.
Types of Acoustic Sensing
