Abstract

The Planar Hall effect in a spin-valve structure of Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/IrMn/Ta has been applied as a biosensor being capable of detecting Dynabeads® M-280. The patterns with a size of 50 × 100 μ m2 were prepared by lithography methods, and the biosensor performance was tested under the application of a DC magnetic field where the output signals were obtained from a nanovoltmeter. The sensor signal has produced high sensitivity results; especially, the real-time profiles revealed stable and significant signals at external applied magnetic field of around 7.0 Oe with the resolution of 0.04 beads per μ m2. With these results, it could be feasible to detect some commercial Dynabeads® M-280 which can be used for recognition force and biomolecular interaction measurements.
