Microcantilevers modified with a self-assembled monolayer respond sensitively to specific ion concentrations. Here, we report the detection of trace amounts of CrO42- using microcantilevers modified with a self-assembled monolayer of triethyl-12-mercaptododecylammonium bromide. The self-assembled monolayer was prepared on a silicon microcantilever coated with a thin layer of gold on one side. The microcantilever undergoes bending due to sorption of CrO42- ions on the monolayer-modified side. It was found that a concentration of 10-9 M CrO42- can be detected using this technology in a flow cell. Other anions, such as Cl-, Br-, CO32- (or HCO3-), and SO42-, have minimal effect on the deflection of this cantilever. The mechanics of the bending and the chemistry of cantilever modification are discussed.

十二烷基
溴化铵自组装单层修饰的微悬臂梁检测痕量的 CrO42-。自组装单层是在一侧涂有薄层
金的
硅微悬臂梁上制备的。由于单层改性侧吸附了 CrO42- 离子,微悬臂梁发生弯曲。结果发现,在流动池中使用该技术可以检测到 10-9 M CrO42- 的浓度。其他阴离子,如 Cl-、Br-、CO32-(或 HCO3-)和 SO42-,对该悬臂的偏转影响很小。讨论了弯曲的力学和悬臂修改的
