Belardinelli, P. (author), D Souza, Savio (author), Verlinden, E.J. (author), Wei, J. (author), Staufer, U. (author), Alijani, F. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)Suspended microfluidic resonators enable detection of fluid density and viscosity with high sensitivity. Here, a two-legged suspended microchannel resonator that probes pico-litres of liquid is presented. The higher resonant modes (flexural and torsional) were explored for increased sensitivity and resolution. Unlike other reported microchannel...journal article 2020

Estevez, P. (author), Bank, J. (author), Porta, M. (author), Wei, J. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Staufer, U. (author)This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of a piezoresistive 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) force and torque sensor to be used in micro-manipulation. The mechanical structure of the device consists of 7 suspended beams and a calibration structure, which can be replaced by micro-manipulation tools such as micro-grippers or...journal article 2011
