  • Device for detection of magnetic nanoparticle aggregation or disaggregation
    Publication number: 20130224073
    Abstract: A device that uses radiofrequency detection of the aggregation or disaggregation of magnetic nanoparticles without using nuclear magnetic resonance methods is described. The signals from one or more magnetic nanoparticle species in separate sample wells are compared to ascertain that aggregation or disaggregation has occurred. Depending on the specific reagents used, the detected aggregation or disaggregation event can be interpreted as an indicator of the presence of a molecule or microorganism of interest in a liquid sample.
