title: Novel measurement method for magnetic particles.
abstract: This paper represents a novel magnetic nanoparticle measurement method for applications in clinical diagnostics. Planar microcoils and impedance bridge measurement are used to measure the amount of the particles. Macro size coils made on PCB are used to test and verify the measurement method and measurement electronics. Experimental tests and simulative results will be used for a future microscale sensing system.
