Objectives
The main objective of this project is to develop and test in laboratory conditions (TRL4) a magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) sensing device whose concept (TRL2) was acquired through fundamental and experimental previous researches.
The specific objectives which will lead to the general objective success and correlated with the outcome of the project are:
• O.1. Advanced modelling and layout design of spintronic test sensors optimized for MNPs detection;
• O.2. Modelling and design of the microfluidic cell;
• O.3. Microfabrication experiments and characterization of the chips with test sensors and microfluidic system;
• O.4. Advanced layout design of the demonstration chip with microfluidic cell;
• O.5. Microfabrication of the demonstration chip and advanced characterization of the sensors;
• O.6. System integration and development of the demonstration model;
• O.7. Complex characterizations and applications development;
• O.8. Patenting original results;
• O.9. Increasing visibility by results dissemination, starting new scientific collaborations and promoting the developed technologies for potential users;
• O.10. Improving the human resource quality involved in this project.
