DESCRIPTION:This presentation will summarize research on chemical and bioc
 hemical microsensors carried out in the Biomolecular Measurement Division 
 at NIST. It will describe the design and function of microscale platforms\
 , as well as the fabrication and integration of nanomaterials that enable 
 analytical measurements. Specific examples will include the use of tempera
 ture-controlled electrochemical devices for measuring biomolecular stabili
 ty changes relevant to single nucleotide polymorphism and small molecule b
 inding to DNA structures. The properties of Ag (and Au) interfaces fabrica
 ted for localized surface plasmon resonance (and bimodal EC-SERS) studies 
 will also be discussed.
