Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have developed the homogenous and quantitative immunoassay system with magnetic marker, polystyrene beads and SQUID sensor.
We also demonstrated the ability for magnetic markers to measure various biological targets (proteins, fugus, cedar pollen) without BF separation. This system has potential for use not only in clinical and laboratory immunoassays but also for medical inspections, identification of environmental pollution factors, and configuration of food examination tests.
