美国麻省理工学院(MIT)的世界顶级传感器大师Scott Manalis教授开创性的微通道谐振器微机电系统（MEMS），首次实现精确测量fg(10-15 g)级粒子的质量，其惊人的测量底限比目前最好的石英微天平方法高出一百万倍。MEMS技术成为粒子分析的最新黄金标准。

美国Affinity Biosensors公司于2010年成功的将这一令人兴奋的技术商品化，并命名为ARCHIMEDES—阿基米德。阿基米德崭露头角即同时获得Pittcon2010唯一金奖和R&D100大奖.

develops and manufactures award-winning analytical instruments for use in research, manufacturing, and life sciences. Its flagship product, the Archimedes Particle Metrology System, was introduced in 2010, and employs resonant mass measurement for ultra-high resolution metrology of particles and cells. Archimedes won a 2010 R&D100 award and the 2010 Pittcon Gold award.
