Cantilever Array for Cancer Detection Silicon nitride probe 500 μm x 100μm Pitch 250 μm ~0.05 N/m x8 cantilevers
Cantilever array for fast, parallelized detection of cancer Optimal probe specifications for force spectroscopy and cantilever sensing
PATLiSci Arrays Can Measure an In Vitro Epithelia Comparison of PATLiSci Arrays (rectangular CL) to single CL (DNP-s10, Bruker triangular)
Both cantilevers give the same results!
