MAGNETISCHE NANOPARTIKEL, MAGNETISCHE DETEKTOR-ARRAYS SOWIE VERFAHREN ZUR VERWENDUNG DAVON BEIM NACHWEISEN BIOLOGISCHER MOLEKÜLE

摘要

Magnetic nanoparticles and methods for their use in detecting biological molecules are disclosed. The magnetic nanoparticles can be attached to nucleic acid molecules, which are then captured by a complementary sequence attached to a detector, such as a spin valve detector or a magnetic tunnel junction detector. The detection of the bound magnetic nanoparticle can be achieved with high specificity and sensitivity.
