A prototype of giant magnetoimpedance-based biosensing system for targeted detection of gastric cancer cells.

A targeted detection of gastric cancer cells is achieved by combining the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI)-based biosensing system and RGD-4C peptide coupled, chitosan covered superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (RGD-Fe(3)O(4)@chitosan). The micro-patterned GMI sensor for targeted detection is made of Co-based ribbon and fabricated by micro electromechanical system (MEMS) technology. Functionalized nanoparticles were designed by coating Fe(3)O(4) with chitosan and conjugating with RGD-4C peptides. The targeted cells were trickled down into the detection area of the system. The detection of each sample is carried out in ten-fold manner and average value is taken as the final result. This system can identify the differences between targeted cells and non-targeted cells. It is of considerable interest due to its potential application in the biomedical field of various specific detections.
