Abstract

A rapid method for the sensitive detection of bacteria using magnetic immunoassay, which are measured with a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor, is described. For the measurement of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) bacteria, the target was labeled by magnetic beads through magnetic immunoassay. The magnetic beads produce a weak magnetic fringe field when external field is applied, thus induce the magnetoresistance change of TMR sensor. A detection limit of 100 CFU/mL E. coli O157:H7 bacteria in 5 hours was obtained. With its high sensitive and rapid detection scheme based on the TMR biosensor, the detection system is an excellent candidate suitable and promising for food safety and biomedical detection.
