| Research Abstract |
In this study, we tried to improve the sensitivity of quartz crystal sensor for sensing single cell. The enhancement of mass sensitivity was realized by shaping the resonator based on the simulation results. As the result, the mass sensitivity was improved at least one order of magnitude and the responses show a linear relationship between mass changes and frequency changes.
The developed method is expected to be used for evaluation of nanomaterials in addition to measurements of single cell.
