Method for detecting and/or identifying magnetic supraparticles using magnet particle spectroscopy or magnet particle imaging

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or identifying magnetic supraparticles using magnet particle spectroscopy (MPS) or magnet particle imaging (MPI), wherein magnetic supraparticles are provided, each of which contains a plurality of magnetic nanoparticles and which have a specific composition and/or structure. The magnetic supraparticles are exposed to at least one magnetic field, whereby at least one voltage and/or a voltage curve is induced based on the magnetic moment of the magnetic supraparticles. The at least one voltage and/or the voltage curve is detected as at least one measurement signal, and at least one spectrum is generated from the at least one measurement signal, said spectrum containing harmonics, each of which has an amplitude and a phase. The magnetic supraparticles are (uniquely) detected and/or identified using the at least one generated spectrum.
