Magnasense files a patent application

The patent-pending system introduces a novel method for detecting superparamagnetic nanoparticles in magnetic test strips. It incorporates a magnetic field generator activated by an excitation signal, paired with a magnetic field sensor that measures shifts in magnetic field strength. When specific biomarkers are present in a sample, the sensor detects these changes, allowing for accurate detection and measurement of target analytes.

"Our technology marks a significant advancement in point-of-care diagnostics," said Marco Witteveen, CEO of Magnasense. "The enhanced sensitivity and precision of our system will enable earlier, more reliable detection of biomarkers across a wide range of conditions and sample types. This innovation has the potential to reduce cost per test and redefine how diagnostic testing is conducted."
