Abstract: A high temperature superconductor (HTS) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is used to develop a prototype magnetic immunoassay system and to investigate the performance and usability of the magnetic immunoassay. This system is capable of detecting 30 pg of Fe3O4 nanoparticles by averaging 100 trails under an unshielded laboratory environment.
