| 20100109657 | GMR biosensor with aligned magnetic field - A planar array of GMR or TMR sensor elements with planar free and pinned layers is used as the basis of a sensor for detecting the presence of small magnetized particles. In particular, the sensor is used for detecting the presence of magnetized particles bonded to biological molecules that are themselves bonded to a substrate. The magnetized particles on the molecules are detected by the sensors as a result of the interaction between the stray fields of the particles and the magnetic configuration of the sensors. By forming a co-planar layer of soft magnetic material over the sensor or its array, the external field used to magnetize the particles is self-aligned perpendicularly to the sensor plane whereby it does not interfere with the stray fields of the particles. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20110025315 | DETECTING METHOD AND DIELECTRIC PARTICLES CONTAINING MAGNETIC MATERIAL EMPLOYED IN THE DETECTING METHOD - A magnetic binding substance, which is a first binding substance that specifically binds with a target substance, having magnet enveloping dielectric particles, which have magnetic particles enveloped therein and surfaces modified with functional groups that exhibit polarity within a liquid sample, attached thereto, and a labeling binding substance, which is a second binding substance that specifically binds with the target substance having photoresponsive labels attached thereto, are mixed with the liquid sample such that binding reactions occur. A magnetic field is generated within a sample cell, to draw the magnetic binding substance to a local region. Excitation light is irradiated only onto a predetermined region including the local region while the magnetic binding substance is drawn to the local region, causing the photoresponsive labels present therein to generate optical signals. The optical signals are detected. | 02-03-2011 |
