Design of a Cantilever Biosensor for Tuberculosis Detection

Abstract

In this paper, various materials are used in the cantilever biosensor to review the characteristics of the structure and analyse the better material to be used up for the functionality of the biosensor. The biosensor is simulated using Comsol multiphysics 4.3b. This structure is responsible for the detection of tuberculosis with its displacement value. This type of device provides better accuracy. Sensitivity is the main parameter used in biosensor to detect the tuberculosis. Sensitivity of a cantilever based biosensor is measured using the defection in the cantilever occuring as a result of interaction of analyte with bioreceptor molecules.
