Abstract

Serial suspended microchannel resonator sensor array. The array includes a plurality of resonator cantilevers in fluid communication with one another and a plurality of delay channels in fluid communication with, and disposed between, the resonator cantilevers. An object introduced into the array will flow in one direction and be measured by each of the cantilevers in turn after a selected delay in the delay channels.
