Abstract

The invention relates to a device for mass detection of particles in a fluid medium, including an electromechanical oscillator (7), excitation means (9) fitted so as to cause the said oscillator to vibrate, a fluid supply circuit (5), and a fluid system (11) incorporated in the said oscillator, where the said fluid system (11) is in fluid communication with the fluid supply circuit (5), where the said fluid system (11) includes at least one trapping site (21) configured to trap a particle of interest according to the size of the said particle of interest.
