US Patent:

8312763, Nov 20, 2012
Filed:

Oct 14, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/587898
Inventors:

Scott R. Manalis - Cambridge MA, US
Andrea K. Bryan - Allston MA, US
Philip Dextras - Cambridge MA, US
Thomas P. Burg - Goettingen, DE
William H. Grover - Medford MA, US
Yao-Chung Weng - Cambridge MA, US
Sungmin Son - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:

G01N 15/06
US Classification:

73 6172, 73 6171, 73 6173
Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for improving measurements of particle or cell characteristics, such as mass, in Susppended Microchannel Resonators (SMR's). Apparatus include in particular designs for trapping particles in SMR's for extended measurement periods. Methods include techniques to provide differential measurements by varying the fluid density for repeated measurements on the same particle or cell.
