Abstract

We have demonstrated the detection of 2.5μM target DNA labeled with 16nm Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) using arrays of magnetic tunnel junction sensors with (001)-oriented MgO barrier layers. A MTJ sensor bridge was designed to detect the presence of magnetic NPs bonded with target DNA. A raw signal of 72μV was obtained using complementary target DNA, as compared with a nonspecific bonding signal of 25μV from noncomplementary control DNA. Our results indicate that the current system’s detection limit for analyte DNA is better than 100nM.
