WISeKey selected by the German health tech company Digital Diagnostics AG to secure its digid cantisense SARS-CoV-2 test - Seite 3

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)

The Digital Diagnostics’ AG cantisense SARS-CoV-2 test is based on cantilevers that are integrated into a sandcorn sized microchip. These nanomechanical cantilevers made of silicon are extremely thin and can be bent with just a tiny amount of force. This makes them highly sensitive biochemical sensors. In the digid cantisense SARS-CoV-2 test, the cantilevers are coated with a trapping layer of antibodies. These antibodies bind the SARS CoV2 that are applied to the chip during the above described test process. When the new coronavirus binds to the trap layer, changes in surface tension lead to a mechanical bend that generates an electrical signal on the chip.

About Digital Diagnostics AG
