Several micromechanical-based sensing tools have been verified by their detection capabilities for {DNA} hybridization, protein, antibody and living cells. In this work we present new insight on the behavior of cantilevers that was made possible using a fully automated system for parallel microcantilever-based biosensing. The core of our detection system is based on {DVD-ROM} optical drive and cantilever sensors. To illustrate the system we demonstrate detection of urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor inflammatory biomarker (suPAR)." }
