Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices for measuring, at one or more time points, one or more properties or changes in properties of a fluid sample. The devices may comprise a chamber defining an internal volume of the device suitable for receiving and retaining the fluid sample; a plurality of layers, the plurality comprising at least a bottom layer below the chamber and at least a substrate layer above the chamber, wherein: the substrate layer is linked to at least one suspended beam at each end of its length; the suspended beam is located above the chamber, the suspended beam having a face capable of physical contact with the fluid sample; and the suspended beam is configured to oscillate upon application of an actuating signal to at least one electrically conductive path, which runs across the suspended beam. Related methods and uses are also disclosed.

IPC Classes  ?
