Quartz Tuning Fork Biosensor

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2002
The use of quartz tuning forks for biosensor applications is investigated. The basis of the sensor is to coat the tuning fork surfaces with specific biomolecules and measure subsequent mass loading from the selective binding of complementary analytes. Two experimental set-ups are evaluated, direct mechanical excitation and self-excitation.

Improved Tuning Fork for Terahertz Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2016
We report on a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic (QEPAS) sensor for methanol (CH3OH) detection employing a novel quartz tuning fork (QTF), specifically designed to enhance the QEPAS sensing performance in the terahertz (THz) spectral range. A discussion of the QTF properties in terms of resonance frequency, quality factor and acousto-electric transduction ...

Quartz Tuning Fork in Helium

Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2007
Use of a quartz tuning fork for precise measurements of density has been studied in normal 3He liquid and in 4He liquid and vapor, spanning a reasonably wide range of fluid densities. It is evident that the compressibility of the fluid must be accounted for in order to properly interpret the resonator response.

Quartz tuning fork based microwave impedance microscopy

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2016
Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM), a near-field microwave scanning probe technique, has become a powerful tool to characterize local electrical responses in solid state samples. We present the design of a new type of MIM sensor based on quartz tuning fork and electrochemically etched thin metal wires. Due to a higher aspect ratio tip and integration

A high sensitivity quartz tuning fork temperature sensor

2009 4th IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems, 2009
In this paper, a highly sensitive temperature sensor based on quartz tuning fork resonators is reported. The temperature sensor is configured by ZY (110°/10°) Cut quartz crystal wafer based bulk acoustic wave (BAW) tuning fork resonators whose operating frequency is at 31 KHz.

Effective stiffness of qPlus sensor and quartz tuning fork

Ultramicroscopy, 2014
Quartz tuning forks (QTFs) have been extensively employed in scanning probe microscopy. For quantitative measurement of the interaction in nanoscale using QTF as a force sensor, we first measured the effective stiffness of qPlus sensors as well as QTFs and then compared the results with the cantilever beam theory that has been widely used to estimate ...

THE TUNING-FORK ROOTS OF THE QUARTZ CLOCK

2023
Abstract The chapter explores the development of new exact tuning-fork frequency-measuring standards useful for the novel range of radio communication during WWI and its aftermath, and the construction of the first electronic clock required to monitor the accuracy of such a standard.

Clamp-type quartz tuning fork enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy

Optics Letters, 2022
In this Letter, clamp-type quartz tuning fork enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (Clamp-type QEPAS) is proposed and realized through the design, realization, and testing of clamp-type quartz tuning forks (QTFs) for photoacoustic gas sensing.

Automatic assembly of quartz tuning fork and microcantilever

2012 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), 2012
Conventional atomic force microscopes (AFMs) detect microcantilever deflection using an optical lever system. However, the complex mechanism of the optical lever system and the alignment of the laser spot on the microcantilever prevent such AFM systems from scanning large samples. AFM systems using a quartz tuning fork (QTF) as a force sensor have been
