| Abstract | The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring a mass of a sample, using a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) arranged to receive the sample added onto a resonator of the NEMS and a microfluidic sample delivery and sample ionization system. The nanoelectromechanical system is located at an output of the ionization system. The nanoelectromechanical resonator system is highly sensitive and is capable of detecting masses in the single Dalton range. |
