Silicon Cantilever Project
Doug Mair, Instrument Manager from the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication, worked collaboratively with Dr Raymond Dagastine from the Particulate Fluids Processing Centre at Melbourne University to develop silicon cantilevers to continue the already extensive research performed by his group into the area of bubble and oil drop dynamics. The goal of the project was to design and manufacture silicon cantilevers with different spring constants and gold paddle sizes to assist with characterisation of deformable drops on Confocal and AFM systems............(Read more)
Cantilever Based Biosensor
Doug Mair, Instrument Manager from The Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication is working collaboratively with PhD student Yang Choon Lim from the Engineering department at Deakin University. Her project is to create a cantilever based biosensor to detect cancer biomarker antibodies. These cantilevers are to be made from a photoactive material called SU8......... (Read more)
