Abstract: Methods for detecting bacteria are provided. A plurality of particles, each of which is coated with a capture agent having an affinity for the bacteria, is combined with the sample to form a plurality of analyte-particle complexes. The system also includes a transport arrangement for transporting the sample to the sensor surface, and optionally a magnetic field inducing structure constructed and arranged to establish a magnetic field at and adjacent to the sensor surface. The resonant sensor produces a signal corresponding to an amount of analyte-particle complexes that are bound to the sensor surface.

Abstract: Electrically responsive devices and methods for fabricating electrically responsive devices involves applying an electrically responsive material (e.g., an electroactive material) over at least a portion of a surface of a substrate material and applying an electrode material over at least a portion of a surface of the electrically responsive material. At least one region of the electrode material is selectively removed exposing the electrically responsive material. At least some of the electrically responsive material is selectively removed in a region corresponding to the at least one region of the electrode material.
Abstract: The disclosed sensor chip includes a substrate and a moving member coupled to the substrate and disposed for movement relative to the substrate. The moving member moves relative to the substrate in a first direction and in a second direction in response to movement of the substrate. The first direction is different than the second direction. The moving member includes a plurality of receptors. The receptors are configured for selectively binding to a first measurand.
