Isolation and separation of the target microbe is quite important. We propose a novel touch sensor for separation of the target microbe on the plate using a micromanipulator with the glass pipette. Principle of this touch sensor is based on detection of mechanical impedance change after contact of the vibrating pipette tip with the plate. We improved the fixation method of the sensor with the pipette as well as electrode design of the sensor.We performed the FEM analysis to improve sensitivity of this sensor. The prototype sensor has high sensitivity and high rigidity and is excellent in durability. This sensor is sensitive enough to protect the fragile pipette tip from abrupt collision. Thus, separation task of the microbe by the micromanipulator under the microscope is improved.
