Diagnostic Biosensors, LLC
Consumable Integrated Micromagnetic Biosensor Technology
Our biosensor integration technology enables micro-miniaturized bioassay detection
systems. Sample handling can be either lateral flow membranes, or microfluidics. These
quantitative biosensors are both highly sensitive and inexpensive because the detectors are
tiny integrated circuit chips. The sensors detect and quantify micromagnetic labels that are
biochemically bound to analytes of interest, including DNA, proteins, cells, bacteria, and
antibodies. SINGLE BEAD DETECTION is possible. We are developing products and
technology in the following areas:
 | | Magnetic sensors for lateral flow strips and immunoassays
|
 | | MEMS - Microfluidics cartridges
|
 | | Detection of single magnetic labels / labeled cells in flow
|
 | | Credit card-like scan of biochemically bound magnetic microlabels
|
 | | Microarray detection of biochemically bound magnetic microlabels
|
 | | Microscale tools for concentrating and manipulating magnetic microlabels |

Company Overview
We are dedicated to the idea that clinical laboratory diagnostic capabilities can be delivered
directly to consumers in an economical and effective way. Our immediate focus is on
developing a user-friendly magnetic diagnostics tool set for researchers in biochemistry and
the life sciences. We are also developing a manufacturing base for integrated microfluidic
+ electronic bioassay devices. With this base, we will be able to mass-manufacture
biosensor chips and cartridges at very low cost, and with high quality and reliability.
Current Activities
We develop biosensor systems based on magnetoresistive sensing technology. We provide
custom micromagnetic magnipulation design services, and magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor
design and fabrication services. Prototype magnetic biosensors are available.
