Inexpensive simple medical devices allowing fast and reliable counting of whole cells are of interest for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Magnetic-based labs on a chip are one of the possibilities currently studied to address this issue. Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors offer both great sensitivity and device integrability with microfluidics and electronics. When used on a dynamic system, GMR-based biochips are able to detect magnetically labeled individual cells. In this article, a rigorous evaluation of the main characteristics of this magnetic medical device (specificity, sensitivity, time of use and variability) are presented and compared to those of both an ELISA test and a conventional flow cytometer, using an eukaryotic malignant cell line model in physiological conditions (NS1 murine cells in phosphate buffer saline). We describe a proof of specificity of a GMR sensor detection of magnetically labeled cells. The limit of detection of the actual system was shown to be similar to the ELISA one and 10 times higher than the cytometer one.
廉价的简单医疗设备可以快速可靠地计算全细胞,这对于诊断和治疗监测很有意义。基于磁性的芯片实验室是目前正在研究的解决这一问题的可能性之一。巨磁电阻(GMR)传感器具有高灵敏度和与微流控和电子设备的集成性。当应用于动态系统时,基于 GMR 的生物芯片能够检测到经磁标记的单个细胞。在本文中,对这种磁性医疗设备的主要特性(特异性、灵敏度、使用时间和可变性)进行了严格评估,并与 ELISA 测试和传统流式细胞仪进行了比较,使用生理条件下的真核恶性细胞系模型(磷酸盐缓冲盐水中的 NS1 鼠细胞)。我们描述了 GMR 传感器检测经磁标记细胞的特异性的证明。实际系统的检测限与 ELISA 相似,比细胞仪高 10 倍。
