We have examined non-insulated PZT/gold-coated glass cantilevers for real-time, label-free detection of Salmonella typhimurium by partial dipping at any relative humidity. The PZT/gold-coated glass cantilevers consisted of a 0.127 mm-thick PZT layer about 0.8 mm long, 2 mm wide bonded to a 0. 15 mm-thick gold-coated glass layer with a 3.0 mm-long gold-coated glass tip for detection. We showed that by placing the water level at the nodal point. about 0.8 mm from the free end of the gold-glass tip, there was a 1/2-h window in which the resonance frequency was stable despite the water level change due to evaporation at 20% relative humidity or higher. By dipping the cantilevers to their nodal point, we were able to do real-time. label-free detection without background resonance frequency corrections at any relative humidity. The partially dipped PZT/gold-coated Glass cantilever exhibited mass detection sensitivity, Delta m/Delta f= -5 x 10(-11) g/Hz, and a detection concentration sensitivity, 5 x 10(3) cells/ml in 2 ml of liquid. which was about two orders of magnitude lower than that of a 5 MHz QCM. It was also about two orders of magnitude lower than the infectious dose and one order of magnitude lower that the detection limit of a commercial Raptor sensor. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
