Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or identifying magnetic supraparticles using magnet particle spectroscopy (MPS) or magnet particle imaging (MPI), wherein magnetic supraparticles are provided, each of which contains a plurality of magnetic nanoparticles and which have a specific composition and/or structure. The magnetic supraparticles are exposed to at least one magnetic field, whereby at least one voltage and/or a voltage curve is induced based on the magnetic moment of the magnetic supraparticles. The at least one voltage and/or the voltage curve is detected as at least one measurement signal, and at least one spectrum is generated from the at least one measurement signal, said spectrum containing harmonics, each of which has an amplitude and a phase. The magnetic supraparticles are (uniquely) detected and/or identified using the at least one generated spectrum.

Abstract: A fluxgate sensor has a driver coil, a signal coil, and a magnetic core that magnetically couples the driver coil and the signal coil. A magnetic field detector that can be positioned in a remote area is provided. The magnetic field detector is connected to a magnetic field generator positioned in the vicinity of the magnetic core by a transmission line, where the magnetic field of the magnetic field generator is superposed with the driver field.
