ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a sensor for measuring an analyte in a medium comprising a piezoelectric resonator having a first side with an electroded region and a second opposing side having an electroded region that is different in size and/or shape of the first electrode. The piezoelectric resonator of the present invention is capable of measuring more than one parameter thereby providing a multi-information sensing device. The present invention also includes an apparatus and method for detecting and measuring an analyte in a medium which utilizes the piezoelectric resonator sensor of the present invention.
