Magnetic nanoparticles coated with biochemical ligands are enabling many biological and medical applications. In particular biomagnetic sensors have potential advantages of simplicity and rapidity. We demonstrate a substrate-free biomagnetic sensing approach using the magnetic ac susceptibility of ferromagnetic particles suspended in a liquid. The magnetic relaxation of these particles is mainly due to Brownian rotational diffusion, which can be modified by binding the particles to the intended target. This scheme has several advantages: (i) it requires only one binding event; (ii) there is an inherent check of integrity; and (iii) the signal contains additional information about the target size.
