Abstract
Disclosed is a method for the detection of radiation-induced damage on a biomaterial using a magnetic sensor, and a magnetic sensor biochip for biodosimetry. Designed to utilize a magnetic sensor in detecting damage to biomaterials in vitro, the method and magnetic sensor biochip can accurately determine the degree of damage irrespective of the self-recovery of the organism. Thanks to their high sensitivity, the method and biochip can detect the biomaterial damage by exposure to even a low dose of radiation.
Claims7
A method for detecting radiation-induced damage of a biomaterial, comprising:
- a) obtaining a biosample exposed to radiation;
- b) conjugating a magnetic nanoparticle with a target biomaterial contained in the biosample;
- c) coupling the magnetic nanoparticle-conjugated target biomaterial with a linker conjugated to a surface of a magnetic sensor to form a complex;
- d) exposing the coupled complex to radiation;
- e) measuring radiation-induced damage to the coupling between the linker and the target biomaterial in an electric signature of the magnetic sensor;
- and
- f) comparing the measurement with an electric signal of the magnetic sensor detected in a reference sample unexposed to radiation.
