摘要:

We report a p24 (HIV disease biomarker) detection assay using an MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) sensor and 20-nm magnetic nanoparticles. The MTJ array sensor with sensing area of 890×890 μ2 possessing a sensitivity of 1.39%/Oe was used to detect p24 antigens. It is demonstrated that the p24 antigens could be detected at a concentration of 0.01 μg/ml. The development of bio-detection systems based on magnetic tunnel junction sensors with high-sensitivity will greatly benefit the early diagnosis of HIV.
