Abstract
In this contribution we report on results of the Euregio funded project “Unihealth” that is dedicated to the development of a micromechanical sensor intended for the detection of
important allergens.
The “Unihealth” project aims at the development of a cost effective lable free bio sensor system that is intended for point of care applications concerning the detection of a large range of allergens e.g. the papain enzyme, gluten or allergens causing the peanut-allergy. The adopted sensor principle relies on electro statically driven resonating micromechanical membrane structures with a functionalized surface that allows for the selective binding of allergens.
