A single biomarker is often insufficient to identify a given disease with both sensitivity and specificity. In such cases, one or more additional tests for other biomarkers are used in order to accurately diagnose the disease. The disadvantage of this process is that multiple sensors, wells, platforms, and/or labels are frequently required to measure...

Magnetically inducible particles, such as paramagnetic microspheres, when placed in an external magnetic field align along the magnetic flux lines, to form aggregates in the form of long chains. This phenomenon has been the topic of interest in recent years due to its possible applications in microfluidics and rheology. Until now the preferred...
