TI  - Design of a portable and low-cost mass-sensitive sensor with the capability of measurements on various frequency quartz tuning forks
AB  - Recently, sensor and biosensor applications have become widespread and are now significant tools in thebiomedical field and other areas. Since quartz tuning fork (QTF) resonance frequency depends on the mass adsorbed toits prongs, it is generally used to measure minor mass change and detect target analyte in picogram levels. This study isundertaken to design and fabricate a sensor device for the measurement of QTF transducers. When QTF sensor studieswere investigated, it was found that explanations on the details of instrumentation part were limited, and in addition,there was no compact commercial products. In this study, a novel, low-cost, portable quartz tuning fork sensor devicewith ability to work with any kind of display is presented in detail. Moreover, the effect of the ambient temperatureduring the measurements was checked. Six other QTF transducer types, 32, 32.768, 40, 65.536, 75, and 100 kHz, havebeen studied as the other novel part of the research. As a result, a QTF sensor device was fabricated that has furtheradvanced features when compared with its alternatives and works with a more accurate measurement method. Owingto this advancement, using biosensor/chemical sensor which consists of QTF transducers with features that can takesensitive analyte measurement in picogram level will be able to spread.
