报告摘要：

Advances in the field of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and their uses now offer unique opportunities in the design of ultrasensitive analytical tools. The analytical community continues to search for cost-effective, reliable, and even portable analytical techniques that can give reliable and fast response results for a variety of chemicals and biomolecules. Microcantilevers (MCLs) have emerged as a unique platform for label-free biosensor or bioassay. This review summarizes chemical, mechanical, fabrication, and electronics approaches to increase the sensitivity and reliability of microcantilever sensors.
