Magneto-Impedance Biosensor With Enhanced Sensitivity for Highly Sensitive Detection of Nanomag-D Beads

A magnetoimpedance (MI) biosensor based on Co-based amorphous ribbon was designed and tested to detect functionalized Nanomag-D magnetic beads. While previous studies were focused mainly on exploring the MI change for biosensing, we show that the sensitivity of the biosensor can be enhanced when the change in ac magnetoresistance (MR) or magnetoreactance (MX) is used. The frequency at which the sensitivity of the sensor is optimized can be tuned. This is of potential interest in developing functional biosensors with improved sensitivity and tunable frequency.
