Nondestructive in-line sub-picomolar detection of magnetic nanoparticles in flowing complex fluids

Abstract Over the last decades, the use of magnetic nanoparticles in research and commercial applications has increased dramatically. However, direct detection of trace quantities remains a challenge in terms of equipment cost, operating conditions and data acquisition times, especially in flowing c...
