    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction having a first electrode separated from a second electrode by a tunneling barrier is provided. The tunneling barrier is a ferromagnetic insulator that provides a spin dependent barrier energy for tunneling. The first electrode includes a ferromagnetic, electrically conductive layer. Electrons emitted from the first electrode toward the tunneling barrier are partially or completely spin-polarized according to the magnetization of the ferromagnetic electrode layer. The electrical resistance of the tunnel junction depends on the relative orientation of the electrode layer magnetization and the tunneling barrier magnetization. Such tunnel junctions are widely applicable to spintronic devices, such as spin valves, magnetic tunnel junctions, spin switches, spin valve transistors, spin filters, and to spintronic applications such as magnetic recording, magnetic random access memory, ultrasensitive magnetic field sensing (including magnetic biosensing), spin injection and spin detection.

    Abstract: A highly specific and versatile surface chemistry for immobilization of amine-terminated probes is disclosed. A bi-layered polymer thin film serves as the platform for coupling the probes, which are preferably oligonucleotides. The process involves sequentially coating a substrate with polyamine and polyacid anhydride. Hydrolyzed polyacid anhydride groups may be converted to non-hydrolyzed groups at about 100° C. prior to probe attachment. The process of coating the substrate requires no harsh chemical pretreatment of substrates such as RCA or Piranha cleaning. In addition, simple thermal activation of the anhydride groups has a low requirement for storage, leading to a long shelf life of modified surfaces. The disclosed surface chemistry is especially compatible with microfabrication processes, and its effective application to magnetic biosensors is demonstrated.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor array including magnetoresistive sensor elements having outputs combined by frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is provided. Each sensor element provides an input to a mixer which provides a distinct frequency shift. Preferably, time division multiplexing is also used to combine sensor element outputs. Each sensor element is typically in proximity to a corresponding sample. The sensor elements are preferably subarrays having row and column addressable sensor element pixels. This arrangement provides multiple sensor pixels for each sample under test. Multiplexing of sensor element outputs advantageously reduces readout time. A modulated external magnetic field is preferably applied during operation, to reduce the effect of 1/f noise on the sensor element signals. The effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) induced by the magnetic field on sensor element signals is advantageously reduced by the mixing required for FDM.

    Abstract: Sensor assay methods for detecting the presence of an analyte in a sample are provided. Aspects of the methods include providing a sensor, e.g., a proximity sensor, in contact with an assay composition that includes a sample and a proximity label. Next, a capture probe configured to bind to the proximity label and the analyte is introduced into the assay composition to produce a labeled analyte. Following capture probe introduction, a signal is obtained from the sensor to detect the presence of the labeled analyte in the sample. Also provided are sensor devices, including hand-held devices, and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods.
