Abstract

This paper presents the design and the implementation of an on-chip magnetoresistive sensors array for cell detection and localisation. Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors have been used due to their high sensitivity and resolution. A new calibration and localisation algorithm has been coded and implemented. In order to generate the required homogenous magnetic field, a custom 3D printed Hallbach cylinder has been simulated and characterised. The system includes sensory and electronic boards to collect the data and to transfer them to a computing server. The experimental results are displayed in a visual interface. Ferrofluid is used to model and simulate the magnetic field change of the cell. This paper demonstrates a 4×4 sensors array and provides a step towards the miniaturised on-chip magnetoresistive based cell detection and localisation for portable diagnostics applications.
