  • Nano-getter device
    Patent number: 8236243
    Abstract: A nano-structured device for detecting biological analytes, chemical, analytes, cancer and other physiological conditions, includes a carrier substrate, a transducer film disposed over a surface of the carrier substrate, and a dendrimer structure tethered to the transducer film. The transducer film generates a first signal in response to a mechanical stress applied thereto. The first signal indicates the detection of the biological analyte, chemical analyte, cancer or other physiological condition. The dendrimer structure includes a plurality of receptors for binding the biological analyte, the chemical analyte, or one or more biomarkers indicative of cancer or other physiological conditions to the dendrimer structure.
