چکیده
In the recent years, the introduction and development of simple and portable sensors has been the focus of researchers in nearly all scientific domains, particularly in the biomedical settings. Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) provides a cutting-edge sensor technology. The GMR-based sensors are capable to affordably and sensitively detect and quantify microand nano-magnetic particles, even in very weak magnetic fields. In this paper, we introduce a highly sensitive needle-type GMR-based sensor, designed for the identification and quantification of Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria covered by superparamagnetic beads, Dynabeads® MAX E.coli O157. The sensor characteristics, measurement system setup and the properties of the magnetic marker solution are discussed in detail.
