Magnetic Clustering Effect during the Association of Biofunctionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles with Biomarkers.

We report herein an investigation into dynamic magnetic clustering that occurs during immunoassays as biofunctionalized magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs) become associated with biotargets. We measure the dynamic effective relaxation time τeff(t) and use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmissio...
