This paper presents a microsystem for biomolecular recognition (DNA, enzymes) based on a biochip, which uses magnetic field arraying of magnetically tagged biomolecules and high sensitivity sensors for single biomolecule detection. The microsystem pro- vides the electronic circuitry for addressing, reading out and sensing each of the 16 × 16 magnetoresistive sensors that compose the biochip. A prototype of the microsystem was developed and experimental results show that it is able of nanoparticle detection and, consequently, be used for magnetic labelled based bioassays.
