Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensor device is configured by using a sensor element including functions as a magnetic field sensor and capable of generating the magnetic field for collecting magnetic particles on a sensor surface by the application of the current. As a result, a sensor device can be provided in which the magnetic particles serving as a label can be effectively collected on the sensor, and at the same time, the influence given to the sensor by the magnetic field for collecting the magnetic particles can be reduced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sensor device for detecting magnetic particles in a specimen, comprising: a sensor element having a detection surface for detecting the magnetic particles and capable of generating a magnetic field for collecting the magnetic particles on the detection surface by application of a current; a current applying unit for letting the current flow to the sensor element; and a signal taking out unit for obtaining a change in the magnetic field on the detection…
