In this work, we demonstrate for the first time, a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) based homogeneous and volumetric biosensor for magnetic label detection. Two different isothermal amplification methods, <i>i.e.</i>, rolling circle amplification (RCA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) are adopted and combined with a standard electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer for FMR biosensing. For RCA-based FMR biosensor, binding of RCA products of a synthetic Vibrio cholerae target DNA sequence gives rise to the formation of aggregates of magnetic nanoparticles. Immobilization of nanoparticles within the aggregates leads to a decrease of the net anisotropy of the system and a concomitant increase of the resonance field. A limit of detection of 1 pM is obtained with an average coefficient of variation of 0.16%, which is superior to the performance of other reported RCA-based magnetic biosensors. For LAMP-based sensing, a synthetic Zika virus target oligonucleotide is amplified and detected in 20% serum samples. Immobilization of magnetic nanoparticles is induced by their co-precipitation with Mg<sub>2</sub>P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> (a by-product of LAMP) and provides a detection sensitivity of 100 aM. The fast measurement, high sensitivity and miniaturization potential of the proposed FMR biosensing technology makes it a promising candidate for designing future point-of-care devices.<br>

A fast and simple strategy for early detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is urgently required because of cancer metastasis. In this work, we assembled an electrochemical biosensor by two aptamers that could form hairpin and specifically recognize K562 cells. The thiolated capture aptamer was fixed on the gold electrode surface. The detection aptamer was linked with a primer at 3 end which could trigger rolling circle amplification to prolong the sequence of aptamer. The dual-aptamer model was fabricated to improve the capture specificity and efficiency for K562 cells. The rolling circle amplification improved the detection sensitivity by inhibiting electron transfer of [Fe(CN)6]3–/4– which could be measured by differential pulse voltammetry. The detection limit of 25 cells mL–1 and linear ranges of 1 × 10 2 to 1 × 105 cells mL–1 were obtained under optimal experimental conditions. Our work exhibited a label-free and simple method for detecting CTCs using cell-specific aptasensor, showing an expected possibility for further CTCs-related study and clinical applications of this novel method.
