Problems solved by technology

For example, when a magnetic particle has a small diameter and a magnetoresistive effect film has quite a small region of reversed magnetization, the resulting change in electrical resistance is small, and thus detection cannot be made.
Thus, it becomes difficult to store information on the detected magnetic particle.

embodiment 1

[0036]FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram which shows the cross-section of a detection device for the description of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. On a substrate 111, a magnetoresistive effect film 100 is formed in which a first perpendicularly magnetized film 131, a first high spin polarizability layer 132, a nonmagnetic film 150, a second high spin polarizability layer 142, and a second perpendicularly magnetized film 141 are formed, in this order. A bilayer exchange coupling layer composed of the first perpendicularly magnetized film 131 and the first high spin polarizability layer 132 is a pinned layer 130 where a direction perpendicular to a film surface is an axis of easy magnetization and the magnetization direction is fixed. Thus, the first perpendicularly magnetized film 131 is formed of an alloy film made of terbium, iron and cobalt with a thickness of 30 nm. The composition of terbium is 21 at % which is close to a compensated composition. The first h...

embodiment 2

[0042]FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram which shows the cross-section of a detection device for the description of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. A platinum film having a thickness of 10 nm is formed as a lower electrode123 on a substrate 111, and a pinned layer 230 made of iron and cobalt with a thickness of 10 nm and an aluminum film with a thickness of 1.6 nm are formed thereon. A surface of the aluminum film is exposed to an atmosphere of oxygen, so that the aluminum film is formed into an alumina tunnel barrier film 150. Then, a permalloy film is formed with a thickness of 20 nm on a surface of the alumina tunnel barrier film 150 to form a free layer 240, so that a TMR film 200 is formed. Further, a platinum upper electrode 124 is formed with a thickness of 10 nm. In order to prevent an electrical short circuit on the upper electrode 124 and the lower electrode 123, an aluminum interlayer insulating film 152 is formed around the TMR film. A silicon film hav...

Abstract

A detection device and a detecting method using the detection device are provided in which a magnetic particle is used as a marker particle, and the ratio of a region with reversed magnetization to the whole area of a free layer of a magnetoresistive effect film is increased by a stray magnetic field generated through a biochemical reaction from the magnetic particle remaining on a surface of the magnetoresistive effect film, so that a large detection signal is obtained and obtained detection data can be stored with stability.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a detection device for detecting a magnetic particle in a sample solution, a detecting method and a detection kit.[0003]2. Related Background Art[0004]A number of techniques such as radioimmunoanalysis and enzyme antibody technique have been proposed and implemented as immunoanalysis until now. For example, in radio-immunoassay (RIA) or immunoradiometric assay (IRMA), a competitive antigen or antibody is labeled with a radionuclide, and the antigen is quantitatively measured based on measurement results of a specific activity. An advantage of this method is its high sensitivity, but a special facility or apparatus is necessary in view of the safety of radionuclides. The enzyme antibody technique using an enzyme for labeling an antibody can be handled more easily than radioimmunoanalysis and provides a practical sensitivity. However, higher sensitivity and more ease of handling are demand...
