| Method |
The resonant frequency spectra of the cantilevers were measured using a microscope scanning laser Doppler
vibrometer before and after the addition of virus particles, and scanning electron micrographs were taken in order to quantify the number of virus
particles attached to the cantilevers.

| Comments |
7.9 to 12.4 fg. The single virus particle mass calculated using 21μm×9μm and 6μm×4μm cantilevers was 12.4±1.3 and 7.9±4.6 fg, respectively, which are consistent with the expected range of 5–10 fg.
