摘要

The urgency for cost-effective, rapid, and user-friendly tools for detecting biomolecules is critical due to their essential role in biosensors relying on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) technology. This article presents the performance of a novel configuration for α-amylase assay as the target biomolecule by employing the ICs-based dual chip commercial GMR sensor, which offers a straightforward approach with immediate electrical data output. Magnetite (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using a green approach, employing leaf extract from Moringa oleifera. Meanwhile, the PEG-functionalized green-synthesized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4/PEG) were used as a magnetic label and produced in an aqua-solution mixture. Each sensor element surface of the dual chip configuration was then exposed to a minute droplet of analyte solution. Each sensor element surface of the dual chip configuration received a little droplet of analyte solution. As a comparison, single chip configuration was also investigated. The microcontroller was connected to the chip, serving as a source-meter unit, facilitating the expeditious production of measurement results. The sensor system demonstrates a consistent and reliable signal that is well-linear to the α-amylase concentration of interest. In a low biasing magnetic field, the signal can be acquired in just 30 s. The dual configuration demonstrated a higher sensitivity in detecting α-amylase (0.98 mV/%) compared to the single chip configuration (0.94 mV/%). A low limit of detection of 3% was also attained. The sensor demonstrated good repeatability and stability, as evidenced by relative signal deviation ranges of 1–20% over 30 s. The dual chip configuration in GMR biosensors is a reliable method for achieving competitive performance with green-synthesized magnetic labels using a low-bias magnetic field. This configuration encourages more responsive detection. The results demonstrate that a facile and fast biomolecule assay method can be achieved by combining the use of a dual chip configuration of GMR sensor and Fe3O4/PEG with a microcontroller.
