Abstract
A bio-sensing device suitable for the detection and/or characterization of target bioparticles and corresponding method is described. The bio-sensing technique is based on the impact on the heat transfer resistivity value of bioparticles binding in binding cavities of a structured substrate. By sensing temperatures and determining a heat transfer resistivity value based thereon, a characteristic of the target bioparticles can be derived.
